Watch the ESA's Sentinel-1A Earth observation satellite launched and deployed into Earth orbit via rocket-mounted cameras (SLYT).

Hey, that's cool footage. So the launch was in April 2014 -- making this awesome, but not news?

In the beginning it's split screen, and I forgot to hold up my hand to see if I could get a crude stereoscope effect. :7)

I think the cameras are on opposite sides of the rocket.

Thank you for name-checking one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs ever! (10 minutes on the ol' You Tube)
