Aeolus lifts off | European Space Agency
ESA’s Earth Explorer Aeolus satellite lifted off on a Vega rocket from Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana, on August 22 at 21:20 GMT (23:20 CEST). Using "revolutionary" laser technology, Aeolus will measure winds around the globe and play a key role in our quest to better understand the workings of our atmosphere. Importantly, this novel mission will also improve weather forecasting.

Aeolus Launch Highlights | European Space Agency
Aug. 23, 2018: Lofted into orbit on a Vega rocket from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana on August 22, 2018, ESA’s Aeolus satellite will measure winds around the globe and play a key role in our quest to better understand the workings of our atmosphere. Importantly, this novel mission will also improve weather forecasting. The Aeolus carries one of the most sophisticated instruments ever to be put into orbit. The first of its kind, Aladin includes "revolutionary" laser technology to generate pulses of ultraviolet light that are beamed down into the atmosphere to profile the world’s winds—a completely new approach to measuring the wind from space.
Prior to liftoff, the satellite had been at the spaceport for around six weeks being tested, fueled, encased in the Vega rocket fairing, rolled out to the launch pad and hoisted into the launch tower. Vega lifted off at 21:20 GMT (23:20 CEST, 18:20 local time) on August 22. Some 55 minutes later, the upper stage delivered Aeolus into orbit and contact was established through the Troll ground station in Antarctica at 00:30 CEST on August 23. The satellite is being controlled from ESA’s European Space Operations Centre in Darmstadt, Germany. Controllers will spend the next few months carefully checking and calibrating the mission as part of its commissioning phase.

Inside NASA's Kennedy Space Center!
Week of Sept. 7, 2018 | For the first time, NASA's modified mobile launcher made a trek to Launch Pad 39B atop crawler-transporter 2. The 380-foot-tall structure underwent a fit check on the surface of the pad, followed by several days of systems testing. Then it will depart the pad and make the trek to the Vehicle Assembly Building.

SpaceX Falcon 9 Launch: Telstar 18 Vantage Mission
SpaceX launched its second heavyweight Telstar telecommunications satellite from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida early Monday morning, Sept 10, 2018. It then brought the Falcon 9 rocket’s first-stage booster down for a landing on SpaceX's East Coast drone ship, named "Of Course I Still Love You", located hundreds of miles offshore in the Atlantic Ocean.
The SpaceX mission successfully placed the 15,600-pound Telstar 18 Vantage satellite into geostationary transfer orbit (GTO) for Canadian-based Telesat. Telstar 18V will provide constant broadband communications services to China, Mongolia, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific Ocean region.
