Auxiliary Passengers using Arianespace Systems User’s Manual Issue 1 – Revision 0 June 2017 Issued and approved by Arianespace Roland Lagier Chief Technical Officer Auxiliary Passengers User’s Manual Issue 1 Preface The present Auxiliary Passengers User’s Manual provides an overview of the Arianespace launch service using the systems for auxiliary payload available on Soyuz and Vega launchers, which together with Ariane 5 constitute the European space transportation union operated by Arianespace at the Guiana Space Centre. This document contains the essential data which are necessary: To assess compatibility of micro and mini spacecraft mission with available systems, To initiate the preparation of all technical and operational documentation related to a launch of spacecraft as auxiliary passenger on a Soyuz or Vega mission. Further information regarding Soyuz and Vega launch systems can be found respectively in the Soyuz and Vega User’s Manual. Inquiries concerning clarification or interpretation of this manual should be directed to the addresses listed below. Comments and suggestions on all aspects of this manual are encouraged and appreciated. France Headquarters USA - U.S. Subsidiary Arianespace Arianespace Inc.
