MEASAT-3d, Malaysia’s latest satellite, has successfully launched into orbit onboard Ariane 5 flight VA257 this morning at 5.50am Malaysian time. Taking off from the Kourou Space Centre in French Guiana, MEASAT-3d is slated to being internet access to the most rural parts of Malaysia. A few of us from the SoyaCincau office were able to catch the launch in person in Kourou, and you can click here for more extensive coverage of MEASAT-3d.
This article though will feature some of the best images taken by us as well as others of the MEASAT-3d launch. It’s a rather historic event, and for those of you who weren’t awake in time to catch the launch on the livestream, here are shots of Ariane 5 flight VA257 as it races into space.
