Hylas-1 net-dedicated satellite launches

The first satellite dedicated to delivering broadband services to Europe has launched on an Ariane 5 rocket.

The Hylas spacecraft is designed to fill so-called "notspots" - remote locations such as rural villages where it is currently not possible to get a fast internet connection.
Lift-off from the Kourou spaceport in French Guiana occurred at 1539 local time (1839 GMT).
The satellite was successfully placed in orbit 34 minutes later.
A signal from Hylas was picked up almost immediately at an antenna sited in India.
Controllers will now take a number of weeks to position the spacecraft properly in the sky some 36,000km above the equator, and to check out onboard systems.
Hylas (Highly Adaptable Satellite) is a commercial venture operated by start-up Avanti Communications of London, but the spacecraft itself incorporates technology developed with public funding through the European Space Agency (Esa).

While few would blink any more at the sight of a Mini Cooper alongside their own vehicle, some may have noticed a few of their models out and about at the moment that are strangely quiet.

And their silence masks some heavy-duty engineering under the bonnet.
They are among the 612 Mini E cars being trialled in the US, UK and Germany since 2009.

These plug-in electric models are leased to customers, and BMW - the owner of the Mini - is monitoring every aspect of the cars' use, in almost every scenario, as they are put through their paces.

The amount of data that can now be collected about how drivers use their cars is unprecedented. And the impact of so much information is potentially huge.
Imagine having your car post MoT reminders to your social networks, or share your location with friends, or prove that you were not responsible for an accident.
