Rocket launches are spectacular but repetitive. Unless you are watching them live, you see one, you have seen them all.
Wrong.
The video below video provides gripping details of Ariane-5 rocket that blasted off from French Guiana carrying GSAT-15 and Arabsat 6B.
It follows the rocket as it kicks off and flies through its pre-set trajectory. The four minute video draws footage from multiple cameras, including on board. It gives a second-by-second update on the altitude, speed and distance of the Ariane-5 along with a running commentary, which explains the mechanics of the flight.
Fun to watch.
