Ariane 5 liftoff<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

An Ariane 5 lifted off this evening to deliver two telecom satellites, Star One-D1 and JCSat-15, into their planned orbits.<\/span><\/p>\n

Arianespace announced liftoff at 20:30 GMT (17:30 local time, 21:30 CET) from Europe\u2019s Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana for a dual payload mission lasting about 43 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Star One-D1, with a mass of 6433 kg at liftoff, was the first satellite to be released, about 29 minutes into the mission. The 3400 kg JCSat-15 was released 14 minutes later.<\/span><\/p>\n

Star One-D1, owned by Embratel Star One, will handle broadcasting, broadband, Internet access and other digital applications over Brazil, Latin America, Central America, Mexico and the Caribbean.<\/span><\/p>\n

JCSat-15, owned by SKY Perfect JSat, will offer a range of communications services for Japan, including broadcasting, data transfer, and maritime and aeronautical applications for the Oceania and Indian Ocean regions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Both satellites are designed to last more than 15 years.<\/span><\/p>\n

The payload mass for this launch was 10 722 kg. The satellites totalled about 9833 kg, with payload adapters and carrying structures making up the rest.<\/span><\/p>\n

Flight VA234 was the 90th Ariane 5 launch, and the seventh this year.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
