...from technicians at France's Guiana Space Center and from European space officials watching a huge TV monitor outside Paris ("Très jolie!" "Excellent trajectory!"). The rocket carried a European weather observatory called Meteosat 2, an Indian communications satellite and a packet of heat-measuring devices.
