A perfect lift off of Ariane-5 with XMM

The Ariane-5 lifted off perfectly on time at 14:32 UT. Separation of the XMM satellite took place 29:18 minutes into the flight. "I'm very proud today - we have given the world a remarkable image just now", said Roger Bonnet at the post-launch press conference.
