The Soyuz rocket blasted off from a launch pad at the European Space Agency's (ESA) launch center near Kourou, French Guiana on December 17. It released a French Earth observation satellite followed by four French micro-satellites. A Chilean Earth observation satellite was the last to detach from the carrier.
