Up next: French Guiana, here we come!
🕑 Added 2019-11-14 17:54:44 +0000 UTCExcited to be able to share this with you!! John Kraus (fellow rocket photographer) and I will be heading to Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana later this month for the VA250 Ariane 5 launch! They'll be launching a pair of commercial satellites into geostationary orbit.
John and I both have the privilege to set sound-activated remote cameras, which is super exciting!
The fun part about it is: to get to Kourou in South America, John and I will first need to stop over for a day each way in Paris, France. I am looking forward to doing some street / city photography in Paris.
I couldn't be more excited to:
- Add photos to my "France" gallery in my Europe folder.
- Add photos to my "Ariane 5" gallery in my "European Space Agency" / "Rockets" folder.
(some of these links might not work correctly until photos are added, but you can bookmark them if you like!)
This Ariane 5 launch will be my 29th launch to-date and 6th spaceport visited! Insane.
Stay tuned for some awesome stuff in the next couple weeks in Paris/Korou, next month with the Commercial Crew tests, and next year for the first crewed flights to the Space Station!
Thank you all for making this career of rocket photography and everything associated with it possible. I truly would not be able to do it without your continued support and generosity.
Have any recommendations for places you think I should visit / photograph in Paris or Korou? Leave a comment below or in the #photo-suggestions channel in my Discord!
