Ariane 5

NASA expects JWST to launch on an Ariane 5 that the European Space Agency will provide in exchange for a share of observing time on the telescope.

Using the same P120C booster for both Ariane 6 and Vega C and concentrating production in one place is projected to reduce the price for Ariane 6 missions by 40 to 50 percent compared to the Ariane 5.

New Glenn’s dual-launch arrangement will allow two satellites to launch together without coordinating mass differences as is required on Arianespace’s Ariane 5.

The X-band DSN-1 payload, also known as Kirameki-1, launched as part of JSAT's Superbird-8 satellite in April on an Ariane 5 rocket.

Hylas-4 launched on 2018-04-05 aboard an Ariane 5 rocket.

SpaceLogistics plans to launch a second Mission Extension Vehicle on Europe’s Ariane 5 rocket in 2020 to rendezvous with another Intelsat satellite.

SES originally planned to launch SES-12 on an Ariane 5 rocket from Arianespace but switched that satellite with one of its SpaceX missions in August.

An Arianespace Ariane 5 anomaly sent SES-14 into the wrong orbit, requiring an estimated four weeks of additional maneuvering with onboard propellant to reach geostationary slot.

SES used the Ariane 5 that had been assigned to SES-12 to launch SES-14 on an expedited schedule to replace the malfunctioning NSS-806 satellite.

Viasat’s ViaSat-2 and Inmarsat’s European Aviation Network satellite were originally slated for 2016 Falcon Heavy launches and launched on Arianespace Ariane 5 rockets last June.

Vega is part of the Arianespace launcher family alongside the Ariane 5 heavyweight launcher and the Soyuz medium-lift vehicle, all operated from the Guiana Space Center.

The upper stage upgrade would increase Ariane 6’s maximum lift capacity to 13,000 kg, roughly 12 percent more than the heaviest Ariane 5 launch performed to date.

Al Yah 3 arrived at its orbital slot slightly earlier than YahSat had predicted after its January Ariane 5 launch sent the satellite into an off-nominal geostationary transfer orbit.

The ViaSat-2 spacecraft that launched last year on an Ariane 5 was originally slated to launch on Falcon Heavy.

Thales Alenia Space originally planned to launch Bangabandhu-1 on an Arianespace Ariane 5 rocket but switched to SpaceX at Bangladesh’s request.

Thales Alenia Space’s winning bid listed Arianespace’s Ariane 5 as the default launcher for Bangabandhu-1.

GX-5 is scheduled to launch in 2019 on an Ariane 5 rocket.

Al Yah 3 was placed into an incorrect orbit after an off-course Ariane 5 launch and has yet to reach its intended orbital location.
