It follows on from a series of 51 consecutive successful Ariane 5 launches. An ARIANE 5 ECA (Cryogenic Evolution type A), the most powerful version in the ARIANE 5 range, will be used for this flight. Flight 210 is a commercial mission for Ariane 5. The L566 launcher is the ninth in the A5ECA family to be delivered by ASTRIUM ST to Arianespace as part of the PB production batch. The PB production contract was signed in March 2009 to guarantee continuity of the launch service after completion of the PA batch comprising 30 launchers. The PB production batch comprises 35 A5ECA launchers and covers the period from 2010 to 2016. L566 is consequently the fortieth complete launcher to be delivered to Arianespace, integrated and checked out under ASTRIUM responsibility in the Launcher Integration Building (BIL). In a dual-payload configuration using the SYLDA 5 “A” system and a long pattern fairing (total height: 17 m), the launcher is the communications satellites EUTELSAT 21B in the upper position and STAR ONE C3 in the lower position.

  • Eutelsat 21B & Star One C3
    UN LANCEMENT POUR LES TELECOMMUNICATIONS Pour son sixième lancement Ariane 5 de l’année, Arianespace mettra en orbite deux satellites de télécommunications : Eutelsat 21B pour l’opérateur européen Eutelsat et Star One C3 pour le constructeur américain Orbital Sciences Corporation et l’opérateur brésilien Star One. Le choix d’Arianespace par de grands opérateurs et constructeurs du secteur des télécommunications spatiales illustre la reconnaissance internationale d’un service de lancement de qualité. Par sa fiabilité et sa disponibilité, Arianespace reste le système de lancement de référence mondiale. Aujourd’hui, Ariane 5 est le seul lanceur opérationnel disponible sur le marché commercial capable de lancer deux charges utiles simultanément. Arianespace et Eutelsat ont développé une coopération fructueuse ininterrompue depuis plus de 27 ans ; plus de la moitié de la flotte d’Eutelsat a été mise en orbite par le lanceur européen. Eutelsat 21B sera le 26ème satellite lancé par Arianespace pour l’opérateur Eutelsat. Construit par Thales Alenia Space à partir d’une plate-forme Spacebus 4000 C3, Eutelsat 21B aura une masse au décollage d’environ 5 000 kg. Equipé de 40 répéteurs opérationnels en bande Ku, Eutelsat 21B, depuis sa position orbitale à 21,5° Est, offrira des services de télécommunications et de réseaux de données pour les entreprises et les administrations gouvernementales en Europe, au Moyen-Orient, en Afrique du Nord et de l’Ouest et en Asie centrale. Eutelsat 21B aura une durée de vie opérationnelle supérieure à 15 ans. Star One C3 est le neuvième satellite brésilien confié au lanceur européen après les six satellites Brasilsat et les satellites Star One C1 et Star One C2.

    Before the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Washington, DC 20554 In the Matter of ) ) Fourth Report to Congress on ) IB Docket No. 14-229 Status of Competition in the Provision of ) Satellite Services ) To: The Commission COMMENTS OF THE SATELLITE INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION SATELLITE INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION Tom Stroup President 1200 18th Street, NW, Suite 1001 Washington, DC 20036 February 6, 2015 Tel. (202) 503-1561 SUMMARY The Satellite Industry Association (“SIA”) hereby responds to the International Bureau’s Public Notice requesting information on competition in the provision of satellite services. As discussed herein and in the attached 2014 State of the Satellite Industry Report, the satellite industry has continued to grow and innovate, providing an ever-increasing array of services and using spectrum more efficiently. During the 2011-2013 time frame on which the Bureau seeks comment, existing providers added capacity and new operators entered the market in every region of the globe. Meanwhile, there has been no significant change in the level of vertical integration within the industry. Despite the long lead times and substantial upfront costs that characterize the satellite industry economic structure, entry by additional competitors has continued. Indeed, one notable trend has been the establishment of new national operators, particularly in emerging markets. In addition, the past few years have seen the introduction of high throughput satellites that add significant capacity, decrease costs per unit, and permit faster broadband speeds. Furthermore, consumers of satellite services have an increasing array of alternatives available to them, including many terrestrial services that compete directly with satellite offerings. This leads to robust competition on both price and non-price factors.
