Must be space week here; I have a few other space-related pictures that are pretty cool. This is a European rocket taking off, and I think it's pretty cool because it's so different-looking. We've seen so many images of American rockets and so rarely see other countries' rockets. |

Its pretty sad, isn't it. I'm reading Ken MacCleods "The Cassini Division" right now. Privitized space anyone?

BTW, This Ariane 5 orbited Oscar-40...
A quite sophisticated amateur radio satellite. After some nasty technical problems it may be nearly ready for commissioning. It is at least *functioning*, and I've received and decoded telemetry from it. I also have a number of other contacts logged that were made though orbiting amateur radio satellites.
