The Ariane 5 for Arianespace’s third mission in 2010 is ready to receive its dual-satellite payload in advance of next week’s launch from the Spaceport. During the mission, this Ariane 5 ECA will carry a pair of Thales Alenia Space-produced spacecraft: NILESAT 201 and RASCOM-QAF1R. Both satellites have been undergoing processing following their June arrival in French Guiana.
