Brazilian AF AMX Fighter Overhaul Contract Goes To Embraer

Launcher Number 200 Delivered To French Guiana Spaceport

The 200th Ariane launcher has been delivered to Arianespace at the Spaceport in French Guiana, where it will receive the Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) payload for a February 15 liftoff on a servicing mission to the International Space Station. This milestone Ariane 5 is now in the Spaceport's Final Assembly Building - having been transferred last Friday from the integration facility where it was built up by prime contractor EADS Astrium.


Ariane Launcher Delivered To French Guiana

The flight's ATV will be Europe's second such logistics spacecraft lofted by Arianespace, following the initial mission with an Ariane 5 in 2008. Named after German astronomer and mathematician Johannes Kepler, the new ATV will ferry a 7.5-metric ton load of propellant, liquids, gas and dry goods to the International Space Station.

Arianespace's February 15 mission will be the first of six Ariane 5 flights planned by the company in 2011, along with five Soyuz launches and one Vega mission targeted during the year.
