Dec. 20, 2008 - Kourou Space Center.
One of the world's top commercial satellite operators used a heavy-lift Ariane 5 rocket to successfully get two Eutelsat's Hot Bird-9 & W2M of its new communications spacecraft into orbit Saturday evening. It was a risky proposition for Eutelsat to entrust a pair of its satellites to just one rocket. Never before had the company put two pricey birds on a single launch.
