Fueling of the AMOS 2 satellite for Arianespace/Starsem Flight ST12 is complete, and the spacecraft is now ready for integration on its Soyuz/Fregat launch vehicle.
Liftoff of the Israeli telecommunications satellite is targeted for late December from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Flight ST12 is a mission that results from the flexible launcher family policy developed by Arianespace and Starsem to best respond to their clients’ needs.
