Пожалуйста поясните, кто в курсе: что означает голубая часть траектории?
И почему под Австралией две запретные зоны: на первом и втором витках?

ESA's Smile mission launch

European Space Agency, ESA
Join us live on 19 May, as we broadcast the launch of the European-Chinese Smile mission.
Smile will head to space on a Vega-C rocket from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana.
This stream will include live launch footage from the launchpad and control room, as well as real-time interviews with people involved in the mission and its launch.
For the first time, Smile is going to reveal what really happens when charged particles from the Sun crash into Earth's magnetic shield.
It carries an X-ray camera to make the first X-ray observations of how exactly this shield responds to the solar wind, and an ultraviolet camera to watch the resulting northern lights for 45 hours at a time.

Smile has separated from the Vega-C upper stage and is now flying solo

Smile has called back home. We have acquisition of signal!

Solar arrays deployed! There's nothing better than sunshine to get you smiling ... Smile can now collect sunlight to power her systems and science instruments.
