Launch of Ariane 5 ECA

Ariane 5 ECA carrying JCSAT-10 and Syracuse 3B clears the launch tower as it climbs out under the power of its Vulcain main engine and its two solid rocket motors. Liftoff was made at the start of a 37 minute launch window, and the Ariane 5 went on to inject the satellites into a highly accurate geostationary transfer orbit.
