| Abstract: | Three Ariane launches are planned this year. The first took place successfully in September carrying an Eutelsat satellite and Aussat K3. Before launching a sensor indicated a leaky fuel line but it turned out that the sensor was defective. It caused a delay in liftoff. The second Ariane will carry the German TVSat while the third one the GTE Spacenet/Geostar and Telecom. All the vehicles are made and launched by Arianespace. |
