It was recognized during SpaceX’s livestream on YouTube, as Ukrinform reported.
According to Space.com, the Falcon 9 launch vehicle was launched from Cape Canaveral Space Station in Euclid, Florida at 6:11 p.m. Kiev time.
Euclid said it would take about eight months for the space probe to reach the required speed when it reaches space.
The mission should spend approximately 30 days traveling to the L2 Lagrange point, which is about 1.5 million km from Earth on the Sun-Earth axis.
Over the next seven months, Euclid will face a commissioning period, including testing of its visualization capabilities and tools. The first images are expected to be released by the ESA this fall.
Full operation of the device will begin around April 2024.
Euclid is scheduled to spend six years studying the dark universe to better understand the evolution of galaxies, the early history of the cosmos, and why the expansion of the universe is accelerating.
As Ukrinform reports, a group of international scientists has unveiled the first evidence of the background of long-wavelength gravitational waves filling the cosmic universe.
