Ariane 5 payload deployment, artwork
Ariane 5 payload deployment, artwork. This is the second stage of an Ariane 5 rocket, being used to deploy two satellites (one inside carrier). Such launches take place in stages, with the earlier stages discarded during the launch, leaving only this final stage to complete the process. The Ariane 5 launch system is used by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the French space agency (CNES). This is the ESC-A (Etage Superieur Cryogenique-A) second stage of the ECA (Evolution Cryotechnique type A) configuration, used since 2002. The double satellite carrier (black) is called SYLDA (Systeme de Lancement Double Ariane)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork captures the awe-inspiring moment of an Ariane 5 rocket's payload deployment. The image showcases the second stage of the rocket, which is responsible for deploying two satellites into space. As part of a multi-stage launch process, earlier stages are discarded, leaving only this final stage to complete the mission. The Ariane 5 launch system is utilized by both the European Space Agency (ESA) and the French space agency (CNES). Specifically, this artwork depicts the ESC-A (Etage Superieur Cryogenique-A) second stage in its ECA (Evolution Cryotechnique type A) configuration, a design that has been in use since 2002. Intriguingly, nestled within a carrier structure lies one satellite ready for release into orbit. This double satellite carrier known as SYLDA (Systeme de Lancement Double Ariane), painted black against the backdrop of space, adds a striking visual element to this illustration. With its meticulous attention to detail and vibrant colors, this artwork beautifully represents not only technological advancements but also humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge beyond our planet. It serves as a reminder of our ongoing exploration and research endeavors in outer space during the 21st century. This print from Science Photo Library offers viewers an opportunity to marvel at mankind's achievements in space flight while appreciating the intricate engineering behind each successful launch.
