Current contracts with 29 customers ensure more than three years of launch business for Arianespace, and amount to total revenues over 4.1 billion euros:- 22 Ariane 5 launches, including 35 satellites to be launched into geostationary transfer orbit (GTO) on 18 launches, and four dedicated launches.- Six Soyuz launches.- Nine Vega launches.
Priorities in 2015Objective: at least 11 launchesArianespace aims to match the record of 11 launches in 2014 -- and even surpass this record if all satellites are ready on time -- with six to seven Ariane 5 launches, two by Soyuz and three by Vega.
Launch of LISA PathfinderLISA Pathfinder is a technology mission aiming at testing the advanced measurement devices of low-frequency gravitational waves for the future LISA mission. It will be launched on a Vega rocket.Location: CSG, Europe’s Spaceport (French Guiana), Expected date: September
Launch of Sentinel-2A: colour vision for CopernicusThe launch of the second Copernicus satellite, Sentinel-2A, will be on a Vega rocket. Copernicus is a joint initiative of ESA and the European Commission, where ESA is responsible for the satellite missions and data delivery. Sentinel-2 is a multispectral optical mission capable of providing high-resolution data in 13 different channels with a pixel size of up to 10 m on the ground. The satellite will focus on monitoring changes in vegetation and coastal areas and is also suited to supporting disaster management during floods and earthquakes, and will provide information for supporting humanitarian aid activities.Location: CSG, Europe’s Spaceport (French Guiana), Expected date: launch window between 1 and 31 May
Launch: Meteosat Second Generation-4The Meteosat Second Generation satellites were developed and built by ESA and are owned and exploited by Eumetsat, fulfilling user requirements for improved weather prediction. MSG-4 will continue the successful series of operational meteorological satellites that started with Meteosat-1 in 1977. The first satellite, MSG-1, with its improved capabilities, was launched in 2002, followed by MSG-2 in December 2005, and MSG-3 in 2012. MSG-4 will be launched on an Ariane 5.Location: CSG, Europe’s Spaceport (French Guiana). Date: 15 June
Launch of AG1AG1 is a PPP between Hispasat and ESA based on the SmallGEO platform developed by OHB for ESA. AG1 will be launched on an Ariane 5.Location: CSG, Europe’s Spaceport (French Guiana), Expected date: last quarter
