And more news (from the BBC):
'By 2015 BST (1915 GMT), it was confirmed Mars Express had successfully detached from the Fregat booster following a one-lap trip around the Earth.'
So the upper stage worked, and the satellite separated from it. This was arguably the riskiest stage of the Mars Express launch.
It really is on its way now!
