Arianespace To Launch Satellites For Australia And Argentina

Mission Scheduled For September 30 From Spaceport In French Guiana

On its ninth launch of 2015 from the Guiana Space Center in French Guiana, and the fifth Ariane 5 mission, Arianespace will be teaming up with two major countries in the southern hemisphere to enhance their satellite telecommunications services: with Australian operator nbn for the Sky Muster satellite, and with Argentine operator ARSAT for ARSAT-2.

With this strategic launch for the Australia and Argentina, Arianespace begins a relationship with two new regional operators.

The launch is planned to lift off from Ariane launch complex No. 3 (ELA 3) in Kourou, French Guiana on September 30 in a one-hour-45-minute launch window that opens at 1730 local time.

The mission, from liftoff to release of the satellites, will last about 32 minutes and 28 seconds.

The launcher will carry a total payload of about 22,500 pounds on this mission, including approximately 16,300 pounds for the two satellites.
