Arianespace Confirms SES Business
On Friday, Arianespace said that global satellite services provider SES committed to three launch missions using the Ariane launch vehicle, under a multi-launch agreement signed between the companies in June 2007.
The commitment covers three new satellites for the SES group, including Astra 3B for SES Astra and two other satellites that have yet to be identified by the company.
The three satellites are slated for launch between 2009 and 2012 using Ariane 5 rockets from the Guiana Space Center in Kourou, French Guiana.
"With these three new launches, Arianespace continues to deliver launch services that guarantee the capacity and flexibility required by one of the world's leading satcom operators," said Arianespace Chairman and CEO Jean-Yves Le Gall.
