Al Yah 3 und SES 14 mit GOLD auf Ariane5-ECA VA241

YahSat möchte 50% der Versicherungssumme für den abweichenden A5-Start haben:

An Arianespace rocket launched two satellites into incorrect orbits back on January 25th. In the aftermath, potential insurance claims were reported for what Arianespace described at the time as a “trajectory deviation anomaly”.

While there has been no formal word on either the SES-14 satellite or YahSat-3 craft it is now being reported that Abu Dhabi-based YahSat will be making an insurance claim that could reach 50 per cent of the craft’s insured value. Potentially, this could include the actual launch cost as well as the cost for building the craft.

Yahsat expected to file $108-million claim for loss of life on Al Yah 3 satellite because of @Arianespace @ArianeGroup Ariane 5 off-target orbital injection.

UAE's @yahsatofficial: IOT done,  Al Yah 3 sat ready for service at 20degW; Ka-band in Africa/Brazil. @Eutelsat a customer in Africa. ~43% loss of rev capacity w/ 5-month, fuel-using trip to GEO slot after off-target @Arianespace Ariane 5 in Jan; $108M insurance claim likely.
