1996: On 4 June 1996, the first four of ESA's Cluster spacecraft were destroyed when the Ariane-5 rocket exploded during its maiden launch. Engineers built three new Cluster spacecraft while the fourth was constructed out of spare parts.
ESA launched the new spacecraft four years later in 2000. The Cluster spacecraft are currently studying the interaction between solar activity and the near-Earth space environment.
