Arianespace has set September 29 as the date for its next Ariane 5 mission, which will carry a dual-satellite payload from the Spaceport in French Guiana.

The Ariane 5 Generic vehicle is rapidly taking shape in the Spaceport's assembly building. When completed, it will carry the French Syracuse 3A military communications satellite (built by Alcatel Alenia Space for the French DGA defense procurement agency) and the Galaxy 15 commercial telecom spacecraft (produced by Orbital Sciences Corporation for PanAmSat).
