Making a &#8220;virtual&#8221; liftoff at 4:00 p.m. local time, the simulation reproduced a nominal 30-minute flight of Soyuz, concluding with a representative deployment of a 2,570 kg. broadband services relay satellite into geostationary transfer orbit. The first real Soyuz flight from the Spaceport is planned later this year. The Russian-built launcher will join Arianespace&#8217;s heavy-lift Ariane 5 and the lightweight Vega, creating a family of vehicles operating at French Guiana.<\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Arianespace?a=PVOqjcTwWfo:QuJDx7DCppA:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Arianespace?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Arianespace?a=PVOqjcTwWfo:QuJDx7DCppA:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Arianespace?i=PVOqjcTwWfo:QuJDx7DCppA:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Arianespace?a=PVOqjcTwWfo:QuJDx7DCppA:7Q72WNTAKBA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Arianespace?d=7Q72WNTAKBA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Arianespace?a=PVOqjcTwWfo:QuJDx7DCppA:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Arianespace?i=PVOqjcTwWfo:QuJDx7DCppA:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Arianespace?a=PVOqjcTwWfo:QuJDx7DCppA:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Arianespace?i=PVOqjcTwWfo:QuJDx7DCppA:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/Arianespace\/~4\/PVOqjcTwWfo\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A highly realistic simulated launch of Soyuz from French Guiana today marked a major step closer to this medium-lift launcher&#8217;s service introduction with Arianespace.
