The two Thales Alenia Space-built payloads for Arianespace’s next Ariane 5 mission have arrived at the Spaceport to begin their pre-launch checkout for a liftoff scheduled on August 3. Nilesat-201 and RASCOM-QAF1R were flown to French Guiana aboard the same chartered An-124 cargo jetliner, which landed at Cayenne’s Rochambeau International Airport this week.
