Ariane-5 exploded three minutes after liftoff
KOUROU, French Guiana -- An investigation will be held to discover why Europe's most powerful rocket crashed into the ocean shortly after takeoff, officials said.
Ariane-5, carrying two satellites, veered off course three minutes after takeoff from Arianespace's base in French Guiana, crashing into the Atlantic.
It was the second failed launch for Ariane-5 in quick succession after a November 29 flight was cancelled when the main engine failed to ignite.
Cheers
