According to http://spaceflightnow.com/tracking/index.html V197 will be with Eutelsat-W3B and BSAT-3b satellites in early September.

Per this interview with Jean Yves Le Gall, the Soyuz mission has already slipped into 2011
http://www.satellitetoday.com/satn/features/Arianespace-CEO-Le-Gall-Assesses-Opportunities-in-Asia_34477.html

"We expect to start using the Soyuz early next year. We will have the capability to have four Soyuz launches a year."

Interesting that Arianne space is facilitating Soyuz launches from their French Guiana Spaceport in the not too distant future.

Are we talking manned launches, I wonder?

Anyone gone to the Arianne facility to watch a launch there? Wonder if they're set up to receive visitors! Might have to arrange a trip to South America once the shuttles are done flying.

Not initially. There has been speculation about later upgrades IIRC.

Hylas 1 launch delayed to end of October. Probably will be launched during V198.

Hispasat 1E launch may slip to early 2011

Hispasat 1E, with 53 Ku-band transponders, also under construction by Space Systems/Loral, is scheduled for launch into the 30-degree slot aboard a European Ariane 5 ECA rocket late this year or early in 2011.

The OHB-built satellites will follow the four validation spacecraft, which are due to launch in pairs on two Soyuz rockets in June and October 2011 from Kourou, French Guiana.

Kazakh ERS satellite to be launched by Ariane.

http://www.interfax.kz/?lang=eng&int_id=13&category=exclusive&news_id=42

Quote

Besides, our French partners have offered Kazakhstan their Kourou cosmodrome in France’s Guiana to launch Kazakh spacecrafts. European launcher Ariane will put our Earth Remote Sensing satellite (ERS) satellite into orbit. Astrium as manufacturer of this spacecraft sets very tough requirements for safety and we have agreed with the proposal of the French side. The satellite is going to be launched in 2014.

Sounds a bit strange to me. In the paragraph before it is stated that they want to also use Dnepr. I consider it unlikely that an ERS satellite compatible with Dnepr would be launched on an Ariane. Maybe Soyuz or Vega. I can hardly imagine a dedicated Ariane launch for a kazakh LEO mission...

ABS 2 launch will be in early 2013.

Quote

The ABS-2 satellite will be one of the most powerful commercial satellite to be launched in the Asia Pacific region with nearly 12 kilowatts of payload power and up to a total of 74 active C-band, Ku-band and Ka-band transponders across 8 different beams and will be launched in early 2013.
