Ariane 5 | November 26, 2019
250 launches and counting: Arianespace orbits TIBA-1 and Inmarsat GX5 on a milestone mission for Ariane



Arianespace delivered another dual-satellite payload to orbit on the 250th launch of an Ariane-series vehicle – underscoring its continued success 40 years after the historic maiden flight of an Ariane 1 version in 1979.

Lifting off today from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana, the Ariane 5 deployed TIBA-1 and Inmarsat GX5 to geostationary transfer orbit on a mission lasting 34 minutes from liftoff to final payload separation.

The Ariane 5 launcher – which is delivered to Arianespace by ArianeGroup as production prime contractor – provided an estimated total lift performance of 10,479 kg., including the satellites and hardware for their dual-payload deployment system.

Another Arianespace success for Egypt

Deployed first in the flight sequence 27 minutes after liftoff, TIBA-1 is a communications spacecraft for the Government of Egypt, developed by Thales Alenia Space and Airbus Defence and Space as co-prime contractors, with Thales Alenia Space acting as lead partner of the contract.

TIBA-1, the fourth satellite launched by Arianespace for Egypt, will operate from an orbital position at 35.5 deg. East. Airbus Defence and Space was Arianespace's direct customer for the payload – continuing a strong partnership between the two companies that extends back to Arianespace's creation in 1980.

Expanding the Global Xpress satellite network

Inmarsat GX5 was carried in Ariane 5's lower payload position and released second in the sequence for today's mission, which is designated Flight VA250 in Arianespace's numbering protocol for its launcher families. To be located in geostationary orbit at 11 deg. East, this relay platform is the 10th satellite launched by Arianespace at the service of Inmarsat.

Produced by Thales Alenia Space, Inmarsat GX5 is a very high throughput communications satellite that will be fully integrated into Inmarsat's current Global Xpress high-speed network – with a coverage area that is to include the Middle East, Europe and the Indian sub-continent.

Flight VA250 was Arianespace's fourth mission in 2019 using a heavy-lift Ariane 5, and the eighth across its full launcher family – which also includes the medium Soyuz and lightweight Vega. Today's success follows Ariane 5 missions performed this year on February 5 (carrying Saudi Geostationary Satellite 1/Hellas Sat 4 and GSAT-31); June 20 (T-16 and EUTELSAT 7C); and August 6 (Intelsat 39 and EDRS-C).

Ariane 5 | November 26, 2019
Ariane's 250th mission is a success: TIBA-1 and Inmarsat GX5 are in orbit!



Arianespace has successfully orbited two geostationary satellites: TIBA-1, for Thales Alenia Space and Airbus Defence and Space on behalf of the Government of Egypt; and GX5 for the operator Inmarsat.

The launch took place on Tuesday, November 26, 2019 at 18:23 p.m. (local time) from the Guiana Space Center (CSG), Europe's Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana (South America).

With this latest success, Arianespace once again proves its ability to support all satellite systems, even the most innovative, for both institutional and commercial customers.

Today's launch also marks the 250th Ariane mission, a series that started with the first launch on December 24, 1979.

Following the launch, Arianespace Chief Executive Officer Stéphane Israël said: "Arianespace is very proud to have launched the 250th Ariane on our eighth mission of the year, for Thales Alenia Space and Airbus Defence and Space on behalf of the Government of Egypt, and for a leading operator, Inmarsat, which has entrusted Ariane for 10 of its satellite launches.

"Over the past 40 years, the Ariane family has guaranteed both autonomous access to space for Europe and record availability for customers from around the world. Therefore, Arianespace fulfills its fundamental mission: to put space at the service of a better life on Earth. And the Ariane story will continue next year with the advent of Ariane 6, that perfectly addresses the evolving needs of our customers."

Arianespace at the service of telecommunications in Egypt

TIBA-1 is a civil and government telecommunications satellite for Egypt developed by Thales Alenia Space and Airbus Defense and Space as co-prime contractors. Thales Alenia Space is the consortium's lead, and Airbus Defense and Space is the direct Arianespace customer for this mission. TIBA-1 will be owned and operated by the government of Egypt.

TIBA-1 is the fourth satellite to be launched by Arianespace for Egypt, with Arianespace having deployed the three satellites for the operator Nilesat between 1998 and 2010. TIBA-1 also is the 22nd satellite launched by Arianespace for a mission in the cooperation between Airbus Defense and Space and Thales Alenia Space.

GX5: Arianespace continues a long-standing partnership with Inmarsat

GX5 marks the 10th time since 1981 that Inmarsat has chosen Arianespace, reflecting the strength of this long-standing partnership.

Inmarsat GX5 is a mobile communications satellite built by Thales Alenia Space for Inmarsat. It will provide mobile services across the Middle East, Europe and the Indian sub-continent.

As the most advanced satellite in the GX constellation, GX5 will deliver greater capacity than the entire existing GX fleet combined (GX1-GX4). A very high throughput satellite (VHTS), GX5 will address the rapid growth in customer demand for GX services in Europe and the Middle East, particularly for satellite Ka-band Wi-Fi services from the Global Xpress (GX) fleet.

Ariane: 40 years of technical success to make life better on Earth

Today's mission, VA250, marks a symbolic milestone in the history of Ariane, since it was the 250th Ariane launch since December 24, 1979 – when the cornerstone Ariane 1 version performed its maiden flight.

Just a few weeks away from celebrating its 40th anniversary, Ariane has built up an impressive record – a source of pride for all of Europe:

[/li]
• In 40 years (1979-2019), Ariane will have launched 451 satellites, for a total weight injected into orbit of nearly 1,302 metric tons.
  
• From Ariane 1 to Ariane 5, payload capacity into geostationary transfer orbit (GTO) has increased 10-fold, (from 1,073 kg. in 1979 for the maiden Flight L01 mission, to 10,495 kg. in 2019 for Flight VA250).
  
• 124 customers have chosen Ariane to deploy their missions.
  
• 31 different manufacturers have built the satellites carried by Ariane launchers.
  

During these past 40 years, Ariane has completed many iconic missions, such as launching the Galileo satellites, orbiting ATVs for servicing the International Space Station, launching the Herschel & Planck telescopes, and lofting the Rosetta spacecraft.

Arianespace looks forward to further milestones as well. For instance, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope will be launched by an Ariane 5 in 2021, while the JUICE mission to Jupiter's moons will be launched from 2022 by Ariane.

After the completion of Ariane 5 operations in 2022, Ariane 6 will reach its full operational capacity in 2023.
