Sulurupet: India, which was in focus at the Spaceport in French Guiana last week when its GSAT-7 communications satellite was mated to the Ariane 5, is now eagerly awaiting Arianespace’s August 29 launch that promises to revolutionise communications.
Finishing touches are being given for Arianespace’s heavy-lift Ariane 5 mission from French Guiana on Thursday, with the logos of its EUTELSAT 25B/Es’hail 1 and GSAT-7 passengers now affixed to the launcher’s payload fairing.
Logo placement on the fairing – which protects Ariane 5’s satellites in climb-out through the atmosphere’s dense layers – occurred in the Spaceport’s Final Assembly Building. Positioning of the logos on Ariane 5’s payload fairing represents the integration of its satellite passengers for this fourth Arianespace heavy-lift flight of 2013. Riding in the upper position is EUTELSAT 25B/Es’hail 1, which will be deployed first.
