Ariane 5 takes shape at the Spaceport

Arianespace is preparing for an active period of launches in the coming months, with an Ariane 5 Generic vehicle now taking form at the Spaceport for Flight 166. This will be followed by the build-up of an increased-lift Ariane 5 ECA, providing two launchers at the ready for customer satellite payloads.

A total of four Ariane 5 missions are planned during the upcoming months, with three to be performed by Ariane 5 Generic vehicles and the fourth with an Ariane 5 ECA.
