Good thrust on Fregat.

Fregat was originally designed by Russia as an interplanetary probe.
It was then modified to fly on Soyuz.

Just mentioned the Cluster 2 satellite quartet.
Not the original quartet which was lost on the maiden flight of Ariane 5.

T+28 minutes. Fregat MECO-1. Now we enter the ballistic phase, or "space ballet", in which Fregat orients itself for spacecraft separation.
Hispasat 36W-1 will separate from Fregat 4 minutes and 10 seconds after MECO-1.

Fregat and Hispasat 36W-1 are currently in a geosynchronous transfer orbit whose apogee is at 35,786 kilometers and perigee is at a Low Earth parking orbit altitude; maybe at 185 kilometers.

And we have spacecraft separation! Arianespace kicks off the year of 2017 with a great start!
Congrats to Hispasat, Arianespace, the European Space Agency, and the makers of Soyuz on a spectacular GTO ascent!

Before we begin the post-launch speeches, we'll have to wait for AOS from Hispasat 36W-1.
It's a new milestone Arianespace possibly included in the launch profile.
