Liftoff Soyuz VS10

Arianespace’s workhorse Soyuz is shown lifting off from Europe's Spaceport during a daytime launch on 18 December 2014 with four more connectivity satellites for O3b Networks.

Over the past 12 months, Arianespace carried out 11 launches and orbited 23 satellites from the Spaceport using 6 heavy-lift Ariane 5s, 4 Soyuz and one Vega light-lift vehicle – a new milestone since the introduction of this full launcher family at French Guiana.
