Congrats to JAXA on the third successful flight of Epsilon!

Personally, I think that Epsilon will end up like Vega in a way that it will have a 100% success rate.

2018-007A/43152 in 493 x 506 km x 97.37°
2018-007B/43153 in 470 x 508 km x 97.37°

Nice sped-up video of launch:

今朝沖縄本島で撮影したイプシロンロケット発射に伴う光る雲の動画です。 ミラーレス一眼のカメラ3台を使って連続撮影した写真をつなげて動画にしました。実際の時間の約30倍速で再生されます。 わたし自身このような光景を見るのは初めてで、撮影もその場でいろいろと調整しながらになりました。

It is a glowing cloud associated with the Epsilon launch vehicle projectiles were taken this morning off the coast of Okinawa island in video. Connecting using a mirrorless interchangeable lens camera with 3 consecutive photos, videos. Plays at about 30 x real time. I own now and adjust to seeing sights like this is for the first time, taken on the spot.

Nice shots from another tweet:

今朝沖縄本島で撮影したイプシロンロケット発射に伴う光る雲です。 1、不死鳥のように宙を翔ける。 2、羽衣のような雲を引いて上昇。右上の星はこと座のベガ。 3、第3段点火直後全景。数種の雲。右上の星は木星。 4、第3段噴射。行ってらっしゃい! 初めて見るすさまじい光景にドキドキでした。

 1.  the Phoenix air sho to be.
 2. Pulling the robe of clouds, rise. Star on the right seat of Vega.
 3. no. 3-stage ignition after panorama. Some clouds. Jupiter is the star on the right.
 4. no. 3-stage injection. Go go?! Pounding in a terrific sight seeing for the first time
