Plus+9 minutes, 15 seconds. The main cryogenic stage's Vulcain engine has cut off and the spent stage has separated. It will fall back into the atmosphere into the Atlantic Ocean in the Gulf of Guinea off the west coast of Africa.

And the upper stage's HM7B engine is now firing to inject the Hellas-Sat 3/Inmarsat S EAN and GSAT 17 satellites into orbit.
