Successful Launch!

Few days ago on the Remire Montjoly beach, some of us saw baby turtles hatching from the eggs laid by the huge leatherback sea turtles last April. These three months of incubating period correspond exactly  to the duration of our MSG-3 launch campaign in French Guiana.

Like this small turtle entering the new sea world, MSG-3 enters, since the successful launch of this evening, its trip into deep space. For sure both need a bit of time and preparation before they become adults able to fully perform their respective missions. They will have to face multiple dangers and hostile environment...
As we wait for the first news coming from our "baby", let's wish them anyhow a good trip into their respective media and, on the top of that, a fascinating life!
Don't we say that turtles can live more than 100years? ... A good perspective for MSG :-)
