Definitively, if Astra-1M goes on Proton (which is still not sure), V187 will be in 2008.
I don't understand what you mean. It is the Arianespace's politics to do double launches...

Will the replacement of NNS 9 by W2M delay V186 ? Will the SPIRALE satellites still be compatible with W2M ?
Is there anybody with an educated guess on when the first Ariane launch in 2009 will be?
On a related note, I will probably be in the area of Kourou, does Arianespace or CNES offer guided tours of the base?

Arianespace’s flexibility in responding to mission changes because of satellite availability is being demonstrated once again
