ARIANE 5/ECA

JSAT Corporation`s JCSAT-10 is fueled at the Spaceport

The JCSAT-10 satellite has completed its fueling process, marking another step in the spacecraft`s pre-launch checkout for its upcoming Ariane 5 dual payload heavy-lift mission.

jps

.. und schon beginnt parallel die nächste Startkampagne:


Das müßte dann V 173 sein. Lt. Arianespace soll dieses Jahr noch 4x eine Ariane-5 gestartet werden.

Moin,

dass müßte dann mit der Beiladung *Skynet 5A* und *Galaxy 17* sein, obwohl bei DLR bis vor kurzen noch drinstand, dass statt *Galaxy 17* der Satellit *Star One C1* gestartet werden soll.

Mit den Terminen von Arianespace bzw. von DLR ist das sowieso ein Kreuz. Die geben nur den nächsten Termin raus, wenn der aktuelle Start korrekt abgelaufen ist.

Mein Kenntnisstand ist, dass nach dem Start am 11. August 2006 aber *nur* noch 2 Starts vorgesehen sind.

Laut der Wikipedia-Startliste http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ariane-5-Startliste#Geplante_Starts und Orbireport.com http://orbireport.com/Schedule.html ist der Start im September mit den Satelliten DirecTV-9S, Optus D1 und LDREX-2 vorgesehen
Hier noch die aktuelle Pressemitteilung von Arianespace zum obigen Bild:

A second Ariane 5 ECA launch campaign is underway at the Spaceport
Arianespace is carrying out parallel launch campaigns at Europe's Spaceport with the heavy-lift Ariane 5 ECA, demonstrating the company's flexibility to launch customer payloads when they are ready.
As one Ariane 5 ECA is awaiting the integration of its dual-satellite payload for an August 11 liftoff, a second vehicle is now taking shape in preparation for the subsequent launch - which also will carry a multiple spacecraft passengers.
The Ariane 5 ECA for Arianespace's August 11 mission is inside the Spaceport's Final Assembly Building, where it will soon will be fitted with JCSAT-10 civilian telecommunications satellite for Japan's JSAT Corporation and the French Syracuse 3B military relay platform.
Approximately 2.5 km. away, a newly-arrived Ariane 5 ECA has begun its build-up in the Launcher Integration Building, where the cryogenic core stage has erected and will be mated with the two solid boosters.
The Spaceport is designed to allow such campaigns to be performed simultaneously, with two Ariane 5 launch tables available for parallel vehicle preparation, a dual processing capability inside the separate Launcher Integration and Final Assembly Buildings, and the capacity for six spacecraft to be readied at the same time in available clean room facilities.
Arianespace has performed two Ariane 5 ECA missions this year - placing a total of four payloads into accurate geostationary transfer orbits. The company's goal is to carry out as many as six Ariane 5 flights in 2006.

Ariane 5's Syracuse 3B military payload completes its fueling process
The second satellite for Arianespace's upcoming Ariane 5 mission is now ready for launch following its fueling, which was carried out in the S5 spacecraft preparation facility at Europe's Spaceport.
Syracuse 3B was "topped off" in the 400-sq.-meter S5B hall, completing the same process that was performed last week on the mission's other satellite - Japan's JSAT-10 civilian telecom payload.
Produced by Europe's Alcatel Alenia Space, Syracuse 3B will operate with nine SHF (super high frequency) and six EHF (extremely high frequency) channels - providing secure voice and data transmission. It has been hardened to resist nuclear attack and will offer significantly enhanced service in terms of data throughput and resistance to countermeasures.
Syracuse 3B is based on Alcatel Alenia Space's Spacebus satellite platform, and will have a liftoff mass of 3,725 kg. The satellite is to join France's Syracuse III third-generation military communications system, which boosts the effectiveness of France's defense forces, as well as providing continuous links between the political and military authorities and operating units deployed around the world.
Alcatel Alenia Space is in charge of satellite construction and in-orbit delivery, along with the supply of satellite and mission control centers and extension of the ground station network in France. This work is carried out under contract to the French DGA defense procurement agency
The initial satellite in the Syracuse III system was the Syracuse 3A relay platform, which Ariane 5 orbited in October 2005 on another dual-satellite mission.
With Syracuse 3B's fueling now complete, preparations remain on schedule for an August 11 launch of the heavy-lift Ariane 5.

Moin Lukas,

das mag möglich sein, aber ich glaube es nicht. Die hatten bereits mehrere Termine aufgeführt, die nicht stimmten.
Wir müssen eben abwarten, was ARIANESPACE bzw. DLR *offiziell* mitteilt.

Meine Kenntnis stammt von hier:        xx.09.2006        Ariane-5ECA      Skynet 5A/Galaxy 17  Ko ELA-3, und da konnte ich mich bisher immer darauf verlassen.
       

Jerry

Na da bin ich echt mal gespannt was wir da im nächsten Monat für einen Start sehen, auch Gunter Krebs Homepage http://skyrocket.de/space/doc_lau_det/ariane-5eca.htm sagt das so:

Ariane-5ECA      6       V-172 /        .08.06  Ko ELA-3     JCSat 10 / Syracuse 3B
Ariane-5ECA      7       V-173 /        .09.06  Ko ELA-3     DirecTV 9S / Optus D1 / LDREX 2
Ariane-5ECA      8       V-174 /        .10.06  Ko ELA-3     Astra 1L / Galaxy 17
Ariane-5ECA      9       V-175 /        .11.06  Ko ELA-3     Skynet 5A / Star One C1

Aber warten wir mal ab! Irgendwann rücken die von Arianespace schon mit den richtigen Infos raus.

paygar

Moin Lukas,

so steht es auch im RFK.

Warten wir´s ab, ob die Daten stimmen. Ändern können wir es ja immer noch, zumal ich ja sowieso *nzb* eingesetzt habe, da ich das genaue Datum nicht habe.


Jerry

Laut Arianespace Videocorner:

"The next Ariane 5 ECA mission from Europe's Spaceport will be in August, carrying the French Syracuse 3B military telecom relay platform and the Japanese JCSAT-10 telecommunications spacecraft.

Launch Date: August 11, 2006
Launcher version: Ariane 5 ECA"

Also Ariane 5 ECA mit Syracuse 3B und JCSAT-10 am 11. August 2006 von Kourou.

viele Grüße Michiru

Hast Du eigentlich die letzten 2 Seiten hier in diesem Thread nicht gelesen? Da schreiben wir doch ausschließlich über den nächsten Start im August.

JCSAT-10 wurde auf dem SYLDA-Addapter installiert.


JCSAT-10 is hoisted for its installation atop the SYLDA 5 dispenser, which is visible inside a mating fixture in the background, at left. To its right is the payload fairing, which will protect the JCSAT-10/SYLDA 5 combination during launch.

August 3, 2006
JCSAT-10 is installed on Ariane 5's SYLDA 5 dispenser
The first integration phase for Ariane 5's two-passenger payload "stack" is complete following the JCSAT-10 satellite's installation on the SYLDA 5 dispenser system.
This activity took place inside the Ariane 5's Final Assembly Building at the Spaceport in French Guiana, where the mating process was performed in clean-room conditions.
The SYLDA 5 dispenser is a key element of Ariane 5's multiple payload deployment system. For the upcoming Ariane 5 mission, JCSAT-10 and the SYLDA 5 form the upper component of the payload "stack." Once the combination has been encapsulated in Ariane 5's protective fairing, it will be lowered over Syracuse 3B, which is to be installed on the Ariane 5's central core stage.
Preparations continue on track for the August 11 liftoff of Ariane 5, which is planned at the start of a launch window that opens at 7:15 p.m. and continues through 8:52 p.m. (local time at the Spaceport).
Total mass of the JCSAT-10 and Syracuse 3B satellites will be approximately 7,800 kg., which is well within the heavy-lift capabilities of Arianespace's Ariane 5 ECA launch vehicle.
JCSAT-10 is to be operated by the Tokyo-based JSAT Corporation, providing fixed satellite services (FSS) for Japan, the Asia-Pacific region and Hawaii. Built by Lockheed Martin Commercial Space Systems in Newtown, Pennsylvania, it carries a mixed Ku-band and C-band relay payload.
The mission's Syracuse 3B satellite is to join the French Syracuse III third-generation military communications system, providing communications with defense forces and improving relay links between the country's political and military authorities and operating units deployed around the world. Syracuse 3B was produced by Alcatel Alenia Space, and is to operate SHF (super high frequency) and EHF (extremely high frequency) relay channels.

Und auch bei der anderen Mission geht es mit dem zusammenbeu der Rakete weiter, aber immer noch keine News was das offiziell für eine Mission ist.  


The ESC-A cryogenic upper stage is raised for integration atop its Ariane 5 launcher.

August 3, 2006
Increased performance cryogenic upper stage installed on Ariane 5
The second Ariane 5 ECA taking shape at the Spaceport in French Guiana has received its cryogenic ESC-A upper stage as preparations continue for Arianespace's fourth heavy-lift mission in 2006.
Supplied by EADS Space Transportation, the ESC-A upper stage is part of the upgraded propulsion system that provides increased lift capabilities for the Ariane 5 ECA. The ESC-A system is powered by Snecma Moteurs' proven third stage HM-7B cryogenic engine - which set an industry record on Ariane 5's most recent mission on May 27 with its 78th consecutive successful flight.
In addition to its use on Ariane 5, the HM-7B provided reliable service during many years of service on the Ariane 4 launcher version.
The build-up of this new Ariane 5 is taking place inside the Launcher Integration Building at the Spaceport. Nearby, the Ariane 5 for Arianespace's next mission is nearly complete for an August 11 liftoff with a dual-satellite payload.

Moin,

einerseits finde ich es super, wie ARIANESPACE das Startprogramm so sicher, gelassen und souverän abspult, obwohl nur noch 2 Tage Zeit sind.

Andererseits finde ich es schade, das nicht mehr Informationen von denen rauskommen. Da sollten die sich noch was einfallen lassen.

Aber nun hoffen wir auf einen gelungen Verlauf für die Mission 531 / V 172.

So jetzt gibts auch neue News von Arianespace. Da scheint alles Okay zu sein um morgen den Rollout der Ariane zu durchzuführen.


The payload fairing with its JCSAT-10 spacecraft is lowered into place over the Syracuse 3B satellite – which is installed atop Ariane 5. This photo was taken in the upper level of the Final Assembly Building, and is somewhat distorted due to the use of a wide-angle lens.

August 9, 2006
It's a "go" for Friday's Ariane 5 dual-satellite launch!
Arianespace's third heavy-lift Ariane 5 mission for 2006 has been given the go-ahead for its August 11 launch following the readiness review conducted today at the Spaceport in French Guiana.
This milestone is one of the final key steps in every Ariane launch campaign, and it validates the readiness of the Ariane 5, its satellite payload, the Spaceport's infrastructure and the down-range tracking stations.
With the readiness review's completion, all is ready for tomorrow's rollout of the Ariane 5 from its Final Assembly Building to the ELA-3 launch zone. The launcher carries Japan's JCSAT-10 commercial telecommunications satellite in the upper payload position, while the French Syracuse 3B military relay platform is installed in the lower passenger slot.
Liftoff of the Ariane 5 is set at the opening of a launch window on Friday that runs from 7:15 p.m. (local time in French Guiana) to 8:52 p.m. Deployment of JCSAT-10 will occur at 27 min. into the mission, followed approximately five minutes later by the separation of Syracuse 3B.

Hi Jerry,
verflixt, Du hast recht. Knapp daneben ist auch vorbei. Sorry! :'(
Dat is aba ochn Kuddelmuddel mit die Nummerns....

Moin Roger und alle anderen Ariane-Fans,

ja, ja, die Nummern; aber is ja schon gut; haben wir auch besprochen.

So und jetzt gehts denn bald für die *Ariane 5 ECA mit ihrer wertvollen Fracht los:

Hier noch ein Bild und die offizielle Info von Arianespace.com


These photo series  with highlights of  today’s rollout of the completed Ariane 5. At top, the launcher is ready to leave the Final Assembly Building, where its dual-satellite payload of JCSAT-10 and Syracuse 3B were integrated. The Ariane 5’s payload fairing is detailed in the second photo, which also provides a partial view of the Spaceport through the Final Assembly Building’s opened doors. Ariane 5 emerges from the building in photo no. 3, and is framed in the sunshine against a partly cloudy sky in the bottom image. The Ariane 5 rides atop its mobile launch table, which includes the umbilical mast with cryogenic propellant feed arms for the increased-performance ESC-A upper stage.

August 10, 2006
Ariane 5 moves to the launch zone with its commercial and military satellite passengers
Another heavy-lift Ariane 5 is in the launch zone at Europe's Spaceport as preparations enter their final phase for tomorrow evening's (August 11) liftoff with a mixed payload of commercial and military telecommunications satellites.
The Ariane 5 ECA emerged from the Spaceport's Final Assembly Building this morning under mostly sunny French Guiana skies. Riding atop its massive launch table, the vehicle proceeded along a 2.8-km. dual-rail track to the ELA-3 launch zone, and was positioned over the massive flame trenches at noon.
Tomorrow's launch will be Arianespace's third mission of 2006, continuing the series of dual-payload flights performed by heavy-lift Ariane 5s. The launcher is fitted with France's Syracuse 3B military relay platform and the JCSAT-10 commercial telecommunications satellite for Japan.
This mission underscores Arianespace's ability to team up satellites of varied utilizations on efficient dual-passenger launches. Syracuse 3B has a liftoff mass of 3,750 kg., while JCSAT-10 weighs in at approximately 4,050 kg.
Liftoff of the Ariane 5 is scheduled for a 37-minute launch window tomorrow that opens at 7:15 p.m. (local time in French Guiana). Release of JCSAT-10 - which is installed in the upper payload position - will occur 27 min. into the mission, followed approximately five minutes later by the release of Syracuse 3B.

Moin,

ist aber etwas verwirrend.

Hier schreiben sie:  Liftoff of the Ariane 5 is scheduled for a 37-minute launch window tomorrow that opens at 7:15 p.m.

Im Lauch Status steht unter *Launch Window*: Between 00:15 a.m. and 01:52 a.m. MEZ on August 12

Und das sind nach meiner Rechnung ja wohl mehr als 37 Minuten, gelle?

Jerry

Die Wissen wohl nicht so recht wohl auch nicht so recht, oder haben die das mit der Webcast-Zeit verwechselt?!
Die nächste Ariane soll laut Orbireport.com auch schon am 19. September starten.

paygar

Mahlzeit!

Entweder hat sich dort jemand vertippt oder verrechnet, denn es ist ein Unterschied von ungefähr exakt 60 min. (rund eine Stunde oder so).  8-)
Kann ja mal passieren. Hauptsache ist aber, daß die Startmannschaft weiß was los ist...

Tschüssikovvski!

Hoffe das der Start glatt geht, damit die anderen Satelliten wie geplant noch dieses Jahr hoch kommen.

Bin schon seit c.a. 10 Jahren Ariane Fan.

Früher jeden Ariane 4 Start auf VHS in BR Fernsehen aufgenommen

Nächstes Jahr siehts aber sehr Mau aus für die Ariane 5.

Außer ATV 1 und Herschel + Planck ist bis jetzt wohl nichts mehr geplannt? Weiß jamand vieleicht mehr?

Gruß

Plutoman

Moin Plutoman,

da ja ARIANESPACE mit Informationen über die folgenden Starts sehr verhalten umgeht, bin ich überzeugt, dass * die Liebliche * auch in 2007 oft eingesetzt wird. In den Auftragsbüchern von ARIANESPACE müßten genügend Einträge stehen.

Lassen wir uns mal überraschen.
