Arianespace has delivered another Ariane 5 to the launch zone at Europe’s Spaceport, positioning this heavy-lift vehicle for liftoff today with a mixed telecommunications and meteorological satellite payload.
Fligvht VA207 will bring two satellites into orbit, the EchoStar XVII and MSG-3 satellites. This Ariane 5 rolled out from the Spaceport’s Final Integration Building to the ELA-3 launch zone, where it is scheduled for liftoff during a time slot that opens at 6:36 p.m. and continues to 7:05 p.m. in French Guiana.
The launch of EchoStar XVII and MSG-3 can be followed live from the special video website from Arianespace. Until the actual live coverage of the launch, a special pre-launch video clip is shown.
