The European Space Agency successfully sent up an Ariane 4 rocket from its launch site in French Guiana and its payload, a SPOT 2 observation satellite and six smaller satellites, that included four tiny U.S. spacecraft for education and science. It was the first 1990 launch for ESA, the thirty-first since 1979. All seven satellites were successfully deployed. (UPI, Jan 22/90)
