THE FIRST LAUNCH OF A MOROCCAN SATELLITE

Colleferro, 8 November 2017 – The eleventh consecutive mission has been successfully completed by Vega, the European launcher that was conceived, designed and built by Avio. It is an accomplishment that has further consolidated its leading international status in terms of precision and reliability.

On its third and final mission in 2017, Vega delivered into orbit the MOHAMMED VI-A Earth observation satellite, which was built for Morocco by Thales Alenia Space and Airbus.

Colleferro, 30 September 2017 - Yet another successful mission for the Ariane 5 launcher, which has completed its fifth flight in 2017, positioning into orbit two satellites: Intelsat 37e and BSAT-4a.

Intelsat 37e is the fifth satellite in the Intelsat EpicNG constellation and is an evolution of the previous EpicNG satellites. It will deliver more efficient transmission services to mobile telephone and institutional customers situated on the American, African and European continents.

Kourou (French Guiana), 2 August 2017 – The European space launcher Vega has successfully concluded its tenth mission, the second of 2017, by correctly placing into orbit OPSAT-300 and Venus, two Earth observation satellites. This event consolidates Vega’s excellent reliability in the sector of space launchers; in fact, it is the first time that a new launcher has performed its first 10 debut launches without any anomalies.

3 SUCCESSFUL LAUNCHES IN LESS THAN TWO MONTHS FOR ARIANE 5

TWO TELECOMMUNICATIONS SATELLITES PLACED INTO ORBIT

Colleferro, 29 June 2017 - Another successful mission for Ariane 5, which has completed its fourth mission within 2017, positioning into orbit two more satellites: GSAT-17, built by the Indian Space Agency, and Hellas Sat 3-Inmarsat S EAN. This last mission is the 80th undertaken by Ariane 5, the third in the last 60 days.

Colleferro, 5 May 2017 – Another successful launch for Ariane 5, which successfully put two new satellites into orbit this evening, one for Brazil and another for South Korea.

Colleferro, 7 March – The Vega launcher has successfully completed its first mission in 2017 (and ninth overall), by flawlessly delivering the Sentinel 2B Earth observation satellite into orbit.

The mission lifted off from the space centre in Kourou, French Guiana, at 10:49 pm on 6 March (2:49 am on 7 March CET).

The Ariane 5 launcher has made its first flight in 2017 and successfully delivered into orbit two telecommunications satellites: SKY Brasil-1 and Telkom 3S.

The mission lifted off from the European Space Centre in Kourou, French Guiana, at 6:39 pm local time, 10:39 pm CET.

The Ariane 5 European launcher has achieved its fifth success of 2016 by successfully putting two telecommunications satellites into orbit: Sky Muster II and GSAT-18.

The mission lifted off on 5 October from the European Space Centre in Kourou, French Guiana, at 17:30 local time, 22:30 CET.

Seven consecutive perfect flights, 100% reliability. With these results, the Vega European launcher confirms to be the most reliable vector of the new generation on the international markets. And it wins the confidence of special customers such as Terra Bella (Google) for its SkySat satellites and the government of Perù for the first satellite in the history of the country (PerùSAT-1).

Vega, the European launcher built by Avio, is on the launch pad at the European Space Centre in Kourou, French Guiana, set to place into orbit satellites of major importance for everyday life.

The seventh (VV07) flight also signals the start of the commercial phase, for which Avio has already signed a contract for ten launchers with Arianespace worth in the region of 260 million Euros.
