Ariane 5 ECA Launch with ASTRA-1N and BSAT-3c/JCSAT-110R satellites

August 06, 2011 - Kourou Space Center.
Arianespace orbited a pair of commercial relay satellites for direct television broadcasting services tonight on Ariane 5's fourth heavy-lift mission of 2011.
During a 38-minute flight from the Spaceport in French Guiana, this workhorse vehicle lofted the ASTRA 1N and BSAT-3c/JCSAT-110R spacecraft, delivering an estimated payload lift performance to geostationary transfer orbit of 9,095 kg. -- which included a combined mass of 8,240 kg. for the two satellites, along with the launcher's dual-payload dispenser system and associated integration hardware.
It marked the 203rd flight of an Ariane since the family of European-developed commercial launchers began operation in 1979, and was the 59th launch of an Ariane 5.
