ESA’s new satellite successfully launched into space
The European Space Agency has successfully launched a new communications satellite into its planned transfer orbit.
Ariane-5 blasted off on Wednesday morning from Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana. It aims to deliver telecom satellite Eutelsat-65 West A into the orbit. Positioned at 65ºW in geostationary orbit, the satellite has a design life of 15 years and will provide coverage throughout Latin America and especially Brazil with video and direct-to-home broadcasting, as well as flexible high-speed broadband access.
After satellite separation, the propellants’ temperature and level were recorded to study its behaviour in the rocket’s upper stage under microgravity. This has been the 85th mission of Ariane-5 which will pave the way to design the upper stage for Ariane-6.
