Generic Ariane 5 Launch Re-Scheduled For December 18
Evry, France (SPX) Dec 13, 2004 Arianespace announced that the next Ariane 5 generic launch, initially scheduled for December 10, has been delayed till December 18. This rescheduling allows for completion of a subassembly replacement on the launcher, which was decided after an anomaly appeared during ground tests involving equipment similar to that used for the flight. The French military reconnaissance satellite Helios IIA will be accompanied by six small auxiliary payloads: four Essaim electronic intelligence (ELINT) system demonstrators for the French defence procurement agency (DGA), the CNES Parasol payload for studies of the Earth climate, and the Spanish Nanosat micro-satellite technology demonstrator.
