Experience how an Ariane 5 launcher climbs... (note that this video is sped up about 4 times the normal speed).

  • what is the shadow we can see on earth?is it the shadow of the smoke of the rocket?

  • Yes, that is indeed the shadow casted by the rocket exhaust plume.

  • It's more like "experience how fast an Ariane 5 launcher would climb if you sped up time by a factor of 4".

  • True, you are right. Corrected the video info to let it make more sense.

  • If only it went this fast :/ lol

  • its about 3times speed up

  • Those SRBs sure were jettisoned pretty high. I wonder if they burned up in the atmosphere cause i know most of the time ESA just lets the SRB's sink into the ocean.

  • Thanks! If you have more of these, please share them with us!
