ARIANESPACE

For its year-opening flight of 2020, Arianespace successfully placed two communications satellites into geostationary orbit: EUTELSAT KONNECT for the operator Eutelsat; and GSAT-30 for ISRO, the Indian space agency. The launch took place onboard Ariane 5, on Thursday, January 16 at 06:05 pm (local time) from the Guiana Space Center (CSG), Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana (South America). With this latest launch, Arianespace continues to help reduce the digital divide worldwide, while confirming its leadership in the geostationary orbit launch market. Today’s launch, designated Flight VA251, was the 315th mission by the Arianespace launcher family and the 107th by an Ariane 5 version. Since its creation in 1980 as the world's first commercial space transportation company, Arianespace has led the launch services industry with many operational firsts and numerous record-setting missions.

Key messages from Stéphane Israël's press conference today: In celebrating the 40th anniversary this year, Arianespace remains the cornerstone in European launchers and a key player for autonomous access to space for Europe. 🚀🛰

Key messages from Stéphane Israël's press conference today: Following important milestones achieved in 2019, this is “the year of Ariane 6 and Vega C”, with these new launchers’ inaugural flights in 2020.

Key messages from Stéphane Israël's press conference today: In 2020, up to 20 total launches with Ariane 5, Soyuz and Vega: 12 from the Guiana Space Center & eight from the Baikonur and Vostochny cosmodromes.

Key messages from Stéphane Israël's press conference today: 7 of Arianespace’s 9 launches from the Guiana Space Center in 2019 were commercial flights. They represented nearly half of the commercial flights last year! 🚀

On its ninth and last mission of the year, Arianespace orbited innovative satellites that address the need for autonomy and reliable access to space by Italy, the European Space Agency (ESA) and the French space agency CNES (Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales). It also served the ambitions of two young innovative companies: Tyvak and Hemeria. COSMO-SkyMed Second Generation, the main payload on the mission, CHEOPS (Characterizing Exoplanet Satellite), and three auxiliary payloads, ANGELS, EyeSat and OPS-SAT, were successfully placed in orbit. The launch took place on Wednesday, December 18, 2019 at 5:54 am (local time) from the Guiana Space Center (CSG) in Kourou, French Guiana (South America). With this successful 23rd launch of the Soyuz medium-lift launcher from CSG, Arianespace has now launched a total of 159 satellites for European institutions, once again demonstrating the flexibility of its launcher family, comprising Ariane, Soyuz and Vega.

The live video broadcast for Flight VV15 is provided in English La video transmission est diffusée uniquement en anglais For its sixth launch of the year, and the 15th Vega mission since this launcher began its career at the Guiana Space Center in 2012, Arianespace will orbit the FalconEye1 satellite. This Earth observation satellite for the United Arab Emirates was developed by Airbus Defence and Space as prime contractor and Thales Alenia Space as co-prime. Flight VV15 marks the 12th Earth observation mission for Vega, a versatile light launcher. Lift-off is scheduled for Wednesday , July 10, 2019 at exactly: - 9:53:03 p.m., Washington D.C., USA time - 10:53:03 p.m., Kourou, French Guiana time - 1:53:03 Universal Time (UTC) on July 11 - 3:53:03 a.m., in Paris, France time, on July 11 - 5:53:03 a.m., Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE) time, on July 11.

Kourou, French Guiana, July 7, 2019 – As high-altitude winds above the Guiana Space Center remain unfavorable, Arianespace has taken the decision not to attempt a launch on Sunday, July 7, 2019. The new target date will be announced as soon as possible based on the evolution of weather conditions. The Vega launch vehicle and its FalconEye1 spacecraft payload are in stable and safe conditions. --------- For its sixth launch of the year, and the 15th Vega mission since this launcher began its career at the Guiana Space Center in 2012, Arianespace will orbit the FalconEye1 satellite. This Earth observation satellite for the United Arab Emirates was developed by Airbus Defence and Space as prime contractor and Thales Alenia Space as co-prime. Flight VV15 marks the 12th Earth observation mission for Vega, a versatile light launcher. Payload FalconEye1 Satellite The FalconEye satellite is a high performance optical Earth-observation satellite system for the Armed Forces of the United Arab Emirates (UAEAF) manufactured by Airbus Defence and Space as prime contractor and Thales Alenia Space as co-prime. The overall system is based on two identical satellites, FalconEye1 and FalconEye2, in Sun-synchronous orbit (SSO). Each satellite features an Earth observation payload, with very-high-resolution optical capabilities. It is equipped with a ground system for monitoring, receiving and processing the images. Upon the system delivery, Emirati engineers will control and operate the spacecraft. The FalconEye1 satellite, to be orbited by Flight VV15, will be the first space component of the system, and will have a dual use purpose: support the needs of UAE Armed Forces, and provide the commercial market with images. It will weigh approximately 1,197 kg. at launch and will be raised to a heliosynchronous orbit at 611 kilometers. FalconEye2 will be launched later this year, also utilizing a Vega vehicle. As satellite prime contractor, Airbus Defence and Space was in charge of the satellite design, integration and tests, and supplied the platform. FalconEye1 is the 131th Airbus Defence and Space satellite to be launched by Arianespace. There currently are 20 Airbus Defence and Space satellites in Arianespace’s backlog. Thales Alenia Space, as co-prime, designed and supplied the Optical Instrument and the image chain. Arianespace had launched 159 satellites for the co-prime of this program, and there are seven additional Thales Alenia Space satellites in Arianespace’s order book. The FalconEye program relies on a heritage from previous French national satellite programs, such as Pleiades. Since its creation in 1980 as the world's first commercial space transportation company, Arianespace has led the launch services industry with many operational firsts and numerous record-setting missions.
