HERSCHEL PROVIDES VIEW OF SYLDA 5 DEPLOYMENT ON MAY 14 MISSION

Herschel’s Visual Monitoring Camera captured a unique series of in-flight photos of the SYLDA 5 payload dispenser’s jettison during Ariane 5’s latest mission success. The images – which are part of an animated sequence created by the European Space Agency – were taken at an altitude of more than 1,000 km. above Africa.
