    Arianespace’s Ariane 5 launches two multi-mission satellites for fixed and mobile services

    Published on Jun 29, 2017

    The 80th consecutive success for Arianespace’s heavy-lift Ariane 5 lofted two satellites today, delivering new capacity for use in the distribution of TV and video content, telecommunications services, mobile satellite services, data relay, along with coverage of search and rescue missions.

    Orbited by Arianespace Flight VA238 from the Spaceport in French Guiana were a so-called “condosat” composed of two payloads for Hellas Sat and Inmarsat, along with a spacecraft for the Indian Space Research Organisation.

    On its fourth mission at the service of Arianespace this year, the Ariane 5 had a payload lift performance estimated at 10,136 kg. to geostationary transfer orbit, maintaining the company’s sustained launch pace in 2017.

    Ariane 5 orbits Intelsat 37e and BSAT-4a on Arianespace’s latest mission from the Spaceport

    Published on Sep 29, 2017

    Arianespace orbited telecommunications satellites for long-time customers on today’s successful mission – confirming the company’s role as a launch services leader in terms of availability, reliability and performance.

    Conducted from the Spaceport’s ELA-3 launch zone in French Guiana, the successful mission delivered an estimated payload lift performance of 10,838 kg. to geostationary transfer orbit (GTO) – utilizing the heavy-lift Ariane 5 member of Arianespace’s launcher family, which also includes the medium Soyuz and lightweight Vega.

    Designated Flight VA239, the mission carried Intelsat 37e for global operator Intelsat; along with BSAT-4a, which was launched as part of a turnkey contract between Japan’s Broadcasting Satellite System Corporation (B-SAT) and U.S.-based satellite manufacturer SSL. Intelsat 37e was deployed first in the flight sequence, separating from Ariane 5 at 29 minutes after liftoff, followed approximately 18 minutes later by BSAT-4a.

    Flight VA239: Arianespace orbits Intelsat 37e and BSAT-4a on 81st successful Ariane 5 launch in a row

    Arianespace has successfully launched the Intelsat 37e communications satellite for the operator Intelsat, along with the BSAT-4a digital TV broadcast satellite for manufacturer SSL (Space Systems Loral) as part of a turnkey contract with Broadcasting Satellite System Corporation (B-SAT) of Japan.
    The launch took place on Friday, September 29 at 6:56 p.m. (local time in Kourou) from the Guiana Space Center (CSG), Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana (South America).
    With this ninth launch of the year, and the fifth by Ariane 5, Arianespace also logged the 81st successful launch in a row by the Ariane 5 heavy launcher.

    Boosting innovative space communications

    Intelsat 37e is the 59th Intelsat satellite to be launched by Arianespace since Intelsat 507 was orbited in October 1983. The Arianespace order book includes two more satellites from this operator (Intelsat 39 and Horizon-3e).

    With its state-of-the-art digital payload, Intelsat 37e offers the highest throughput in the Intelsat EpicNG fleet. It features an improved power-sharing technology that allows it to assign onboard power between shaped, fixed and steerable Ku-band spot beams. Arianespace and Boeing
    - Intelsat 37e is the 55th Boeing-built satellite to be launched by Arianespace since 1987.
    - The Arianespace order book includes two more Boeing satellites: Horizon-3e and ViaSat 3F1.

    The satellite’s services can be optimized on demand, depending on application requirements and by region, thus boosting its ability to provide ever more effective transmissions for mobile and government customers in the Americas, Africa and Europe.

    Intelsat 37e is the fifth high-throughput satellite in the Intelsat EpicNG series, and the fourth of this series to be launched by Arianespace, reflecting Intelsat’s exceptional trust in the launch services offered by Arianespace.

    The BSAT-4a satellite was launched for SSL within the scope of a turnkey contract with the Japanese operator Broadcasting Satellite System Corporation (B-SAT).

    BSAT-4a is the ninth B-SAT satellite launched by Arianespace. It will offer direct-to-home (DTH) digital broadcast services across Japan. Its 24 Ku-band transponders will support the expansion of the most advanced DTH services, including high-definition and very-high-definition (4K/8K).
    Arianespace has launched all B-SAT satellites since the Japanese operator’s creation. Reflecting its unmatched position in this market, BSAT-4a is the 29th geostationary satellite launched by Arianespace for a Japanese operator.

    Arianespace’s heavy launcher: combining reliability and performance

    With today’s mission, the 81st successful launch in a row for Ariane 5, Arianespace’s heavy launcher has once again proven its unrivaled reliability and performance. It also nearly equaled the launcher’s payload record of 9,969 kg, set by flight VA237 in June 2017, by lofting a net payload weight of 9,958 kg.
    Arianespace has carried out nine launches from the Guiana Space Center to date in 2017 (five by Ariane 5, two by Soyuz and two by Vega). Since the beginning of the year, the company has launched 15 payloads – including 12 into geostationary transfer orbit – totaling 55,440 kg.

    Shortly after the announcement of the orbital injection of the two satellites, Stéphane Israël, CEO of Arianespace, said: “Arianespace is proud to share this fifth successful Ariane 5 launch of the year, its 81st in a row, with our American and Japanese customers. We are very happy with the continuing expression of trust from Intelsat. Just slightly over a year after the dual launch of IS-33e and IS-36, and seven months after the launch of Intelsat-32e/SKY Brasil-1, we have now orbited Intelsat-37e, the most powerful satellite in its Intelsat EpicNG fleet. Congratulations to Boeing, our long-standing partner, which built Intelsat 37e, and with whom we have carried out the third mission of the year from CSG. Our thanks also go to SSL, manufacturer of BSAT-4a, with whom we have a very long and valued relationship, having now launched a total of 64 satellites based on SSL platforms, as well as B-SAT, which has entrusted us with the launch of its entire fleet of satellites, a special honor for us.

    “I would like to congratulate all our partners on this 95th Ariane 5 launch: everyone at our parent company, ArianeGroup, along with their partners from industry who work on Ariane launchers; ESA, for its active support of the Ariane program; CNES/CSG, our ground segment companies, and all staff at the space center, who work alongside us as we go from success to success. And of course, I would like to congratulate everyone at Arianespace for the success of our ninth launch of the year."
