L-3: Our Soyuz rocket with the spacecraft inside is rolled out to the launchpad. The system to keep it upright is ingeniously simple. By using counterweights the rocket is held upright but the slightest force (such as liftoff) pushes the supports out of the way, no complicated electronics required! Did you ever wonder how a launch time is recorded? Easy, the rocket is standing on a large switch, as soon as it is depressed (i.e. we are launched) the time is recorded and we have a launch time!
L-3 : Transfert de la fusée jusqu’au pas de tir. Ça a l’air impressionnant, mais le système pour la faire tenir à la verticale n’a rien de compliqué : on utilise tout simplement des contrepoids. Pas besoin non plus d’électroniques sophistiquées pour dégager la voie à la fusée lors du lancement, la force du décollage suffisant largement pour faire basculer les structures de soutien en arrière. Comment arrive-t-on à connaître l’heure exacte du décollage ? Là aussi, c’est facile : la fusée est installée sous une sorte de grand bouton-poussoir qui est relâché quand elle décolle, ce qui déclenche l’enregistrement de l’heure du lancement.

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket with the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) spacecraft onboard is seen as it rolls out to the pad, Tuesday, Dec. 13, 2022, at Space Launch Complex 4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. Jointly developed by NASA and Centre National D'Etudes Spatiales (CNES), with contributions from the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and United Kingdom Space Agency, SWOT is the first satellite mission that will observe nearly all water on Earth’s surface, measuring the height of water in the planet’s lakes, rivers, reservoirs, and the ocean.

Edited NASA image of the rollout of the Atlas V rocket scheduled to launch the Mars 2020 mission later today, if all goes well and according to schedule.
Original caption: The United Launch Alliance Atlas V 541 rocket, carrying NASA’s Mars Perseverance rover and Ingenuity helicopter, rolls out from the Vertical Integration Facility and moves along to the launch pad at Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on July 28, 2020. First motion was at 10:24 a.m. EDT. Launch of the Mars 2020 mission is scheduled for July 30. The rover is part of NASA’s Mars Exploration Program, a long-term effort of robotic exploration of the Red Planet. The rover will search for habitable conditions in the ancient past and signs of past microbial life on Mars. The Launch Services Program at Kennedy is responsible for launch management.

The United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket carrying NASA’s Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN, or MAVEN, spacecraft begins its move from the Vertical Integration Facility to Space Launch Complex 41 on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. Rollout began on schedule with first motion at 9:57 a.m. Launch is scheduled for Nov. 18 during a window that extends from 1:28 to 3:28 p.m. Once positioned in orbit above the Red Planet, MAVEN will study its upper atmosphere in unprecedented detail.
