...By 2020, it will launch the Star One D2 satellite, with estimated power of 19.3 KW and launch mass of 7 tons. It will have 28 C-band transponders, 24 Ku-band transponders and 20 Gbps Ka band capacity. It will occupy the orbital position of 70 ° W and will provide data, video and Internet capacity for government agencies and large companies operating in South and Central America, including Mexico. It will also enable the transmission of signals to TV by Signature, in addition to meeting the demands of cell phone backhaul with Ka Band.

VA 249 NET July 30
SFN Ariane 5 launch delayed in aftermath of Vega failure, dated July 20, 2019
Quote
But sources said Friday [July 19] that the Ariane 5 launch has been delayed to no earlier than July 30, and could face additional schedule slips to ensure the Ariane 5 is free of the fault that caused the Vega accident.

While I cant be 100% certain, I'm guessing that they aren't doing instantaneous dual launch and 'vega' is just a brainfart

In parallel, CLS, with the support of the French Space Agency CNES, is working to develop a completely new generation of dedicated satellites, using nanosat technology. This constellation of 20 nanosatellites, called Kinéis, is planned to launch in 2021.

Some deductions towards the possible payloads of hypothetical VA250 and VA251.
As always, I welcome correction, clarification, or confirmation.

Cabinet approves Rs 3,000 crore GSLV phase-4 programme for 5 launches
Surendra Singh | TNN | Updated: Apr 15, 2019, 19:31 IST
...
A series of advanced satellites Gsat-20, Gsat-30 and Gsat-32 , which will boost communication capabilites of the country, will also be launched by early next year. While Gsat-20 and Gsat-30, a replacement of Insat-4A, will be sent to space from French Guiana, Gsat-32 will be launched from Sriharikota.

If I'm parsing correctly, these three GSAT satellites are scheuled to be launched by early 2020; not that all three launches will be delayed into early 2020.

Planned launches:
Date - Satellite(s) - Rocket - Launch Site - Time (UTC)

2019
Q4 - Inmarsat 5 F5 (GX-5) - Ariane 5 ECA - Kourou ELA-3 - below the Sylda
Q4 - Eutelsat Konnect (Eutelsat BB4A, African Broadband Satellite) - Ariane 5 ECA - Kourou ELA-3 - above? the Sylda
Q4 - JCSat-17 - Ariane 5 ECA - Kourou ELA-3 (or Q1 2020) - above the Sylda
NLT early 2020 - GSAT-30 - Ariane 5 ECA - Kourou ELA-3 - below the Sylda

zubenelgenubi

Top/bottom position deduction derives from the satellite masses.  Sources, where available, are from Gunter's Space Page.
Satellite masses
Inmarsat 5 F5     <4000 kg
Eutelsat Konnect  ~6000 kg (my estimate from masses of 2 of 3 other Spacebus-NEO satellites) with listed masses, or ~3500kg (the third of the three)
JCSat-17             ~6500 kg  (my estimate from masses of the other 2 LM-2100 (modernized) satellites launched thus far)
GSAT-30               3100 kg

Further deductions await further information, such as a payload delivery, or news of a pending delivery, to Kourou.

EDIT 9/10
Inmarsat 5 F5 revealed as one of two payloads aboard VA250.
EDIT 9/26
Eutelsat Konnect and GSAT-30 revealed as the payloads of VA251.
EDIT 10/17
TIBA-1 revealed as the other, "secret" payload aboard VA250.  Fueled mass 6500 kg.

KONNECT is a next-generation High Throughput satellite offering unprecedented operational flexibility. With a mass of 3.5 metric tons, this all-electric satellite, the first to use Thales Alenia Space's new Spacebus Neo platform, will provide 75 Gbps of capacity covering Western Europe and Africa.

Arianespace’s launch manifest for the coming months is currently under discussion, with the exact date for Cheops shipment to the Spaceport, and its launch date, to be confirmed at a later stage. The mission is foreseen to launch in the last quarter of 2019.

Quote
Cheops will lift off as a secondary passenger on a Soyuz-Fregat rocket, sharing the ride into space with a satellite that is part of the Italian Cosmo-SkyMed constellation.

Quote
The launch date will be announced once confirmed by Arianespace.

Ongoing upgrade authorised under name system build 1.5.1 started in February 2019 with completion expected at the end of the year. Supposed to be seamless transition of G1G in preparation for rollout of G2G and EGNOS v3 follow on ground and space segments but could be related to last month's issues.

In support of an ever more accurate, resilient and capable Galileo system, Airbus Defence and Space is now involved in the development teams for Galileo Second Generation (G2G), looking at major evolutions for the Ground Segment (Mission & Control).

Arianespace’s “GO-1” mission will provide small satellites with a direct flight to geostationary orbit

August 5, 2019

Arianespace to introduce an innovative service providing fast-track access to Geosynchronous Equatorial Orbit (also known as geostationary orbit, or GEO) for the new generation of small satellites, offering a first flight opportunity with more than 4,500 kg. of such payloads on its “GO-1” mission in the first half of 2022.

This rideshare flight from the Guiana Space Center unveiled today during the 2019 Small Satellite Conference at Logan, Utah, USA – will utilize the Ariane 64 version of Europe’s future heavy-lift launcher. The GO-1 mission will inaugurate a regular, frequent path to direct geostationary orbit for small satellites.

Configured with the Multi-Launch Service carrying system (MLS), Ariane 6 can accommodate a full range of small-sized satellites, from cubesats to microsats or larger.

Customers taking advantage of the GO-1 mission will benefit from a short ride to orbit: from liftoff to separation, the duration will be shorter than commercial jetliner flight from New York to Paris. The new service also will involve user-friendly launch service agreements and simplified mission preparation procedures. As close to six months before liftoff, customers will be able to purchase one or several slots on the GO-1 mission.

This is a new day for small satellites: until now, there has been no convenient, predictable, affordable path to GEO for small satellites. But with the Ariane 64 coming online and the GO-1 mission, we’ve engineered a solution that will pave the way for a smallsat revolution in geostationary orbit,” commented Arianespace CEO Stéphane Israël. “While most of such launches depend on a lead customer who could delay the flight, the GO-1 mission will follow a specific schedule – offering to each customer and to each satellite a ‘place of honor’ aboard this flight, which will lift off once the targeted payload capacity is booked.”

Arianespace’s launch manifest for the coming months is currently under discussion...

Probably following from this; re: SSMS POC / Vega flight:
SFN Launch Schedule, dated August 12, 2019:
Launch TBD 2019.

And re: CHEOPS et.al. / Soyuz
Actually there never has been a fixed launch date for Cheops, but a window from October 15 to November 23.

SFN Launch Schedule, dated August 12, 2019
Launch November 2019

CEO statement

Important customer agreements and financing of Ovzon 3

During the second quarter, we continued to develop the company according to plan. The last bit of funding for Ovzon 3 is in place and Maxar, our satellite provider, has started the project to build the satellite. As for the launch of the satellite, we have recently contracted Arianespace to launch our satellite in 2021 and we have thus left the preliminary agreements we had.

"For 2020, 12 launches of Soyuz launch vehicles with OneWeb satellites have been tentatively planned. Two of them are from the Kourou space center, the rest are from Russian space centers. Specific dates and quantities are agreed with the customer," Loskutov said.

Their work on identifying the causes of the Flight VV15 anomaly, and the well-defined actions to be carried out from now until the end of the year, will pave the way for a resumption of Vega launches as from the first quarter of 2020, under the requisite conditions of reliability.

MOSCOW, Sep 7 - RIA News. The next launch of the Russian Soyuz-ST launch vehicle from the Kourou space center in French Guiana was postponed from October-November to December due to the unavailability of foreign satellites, a source in the space-rocket industry told RIA Novosti.
