Video of Ariane V in flight?

[cvanc]

So... it seems there isn't much video of the Ariane V actually in flight? All we ever see is the liftoff; there aren't any cameras following it on the way up. For instance I've never seen video of the V dropping off the solids (have any of you?).

Do we have an idea why this is? Is it a budget thing, or is the site always cloudy, or what?

If Scott Manley hasn't covered it, then probably won't know.

Heres an example, but the clouds get a bit in the way. But I agree there seems to be less video material of the Ariane V around.


A neat surprise, but among real launches in the top three video search results for "ariane v booster drop", I got a video from John Coker.

Thanks Reinhard, that's the best footage I have ever seen.

Yep.. @ 3:26... that's definitely some shock and awe. And there's a guy speaking English too.

Thanks for posting the video.
