| | | | | | | Herschel y Planck, poniendo a punto sus instrumentos científicos
21 mayo 2009
| Shortly after launch, Herschel and Planck will separate from the launcher’s upper stage and head independently towards their
respective orbits around the second Lagrange point of the Sun-Earth system (L2), some 1.5 million km from Earth in the
direction opposite to the Sun. It will take about 60 days for both spacecraft to reach their destination.

| This animation shows the Herschel spacecraft leaving Earth and heading towards its operational orbit around the 2nd Lagrangian Point (L2).
L2 is a virtual point in space situated at 1.5 million kilometres from Earth (about four times the distance between Earth and the Moon), in the opposite direction to the Sun.
Herschel will orbit L2 at an average distance of about 800 000 km; a minimum of three years of routine science operations are foreseen.
