And apparently successful, all objects confirmed in orbit, including Estonia's first satellite.

Well, don't forget also that the Estonia cubesat (ESTCube-1) is the first satellite who testing the concept of the E-sail.

Anyway, it was a nice launch. Vega second launch was also a success! :)

Next launch is a Russian 'Persona' optical reconnaissance sat tomorrow, but we've a fat chance of seeing anything of that. After that is the next chinese crewed launch, Shenzhou 10. It's planned for either the 9th or the 11th (probably depending on weather), and will be last launch to Tiangong-1. Rocket is already on the pad.
