I made quick list of the Arianespace orderbook for 2017. Sorted by date of announcement.Data arianespace.com, list my own work, thus any faults mine.
15 novembre 2017Ariane 241 – La 1ère campagne de l’année est lancée !Le navire qui assure le transport, entre l’Europe et la Guyane, des éléments du lanceur, est arrivé au port de Pariacabo de Kourou. Les éléments sont déchargés et convoyés au Centre spatial guyanais, jusqu’au BIL (bâtiment d’intégration lanceur). La mission d’Ariane 5 prévue fin janvier 18, sera le premier lancement de l’année.
Jeff Foust @jeff_foustGreg Wyler, OneWeb: on track to launch first set of satellites “by summer.” Plan to start moving into new Florida factory in January. #Space17
"It is the second satellite," Hellas Sat 4 ", which is expected to be launched in the summer of 2018 and will complete the now-existing Hellas Sat 3 at 39 degrees," the chairman and CEO of "Hellas Sat" ", Christodoulos Protopapas.
In particular, the 'Geostationary Orbital Composite Satellite (Cheollian) No. 2 (2A and 2B)', which is being developed through Korean companies’ proprietary technologies will have a crucial year for its success this year. They will completes the final assembly of the Chollian 2A, which will serves as a meteorological satellite, until the second half of this year and its final performances will be put to test viaa satellite environmental test. Then, after a space weather sensor is put together with the satellite body in May of next year, the satellite will be launched into a geostationary orbit of 36,000km above the earth in the second half of 2018. In addition, the Cheonan-2B, a marine observation satellite, is scheduled to be launched in 2019 after body assembly and functional tests and the introduction of a payload this year.

Intelsat signs contract with Arianespace for two launchesArianespace signed an agreement to launch two satellites for longtime customer Intelsat, one of the world’s largest satellite operators. This continues the longstanding relationship between Intelsat and Arianespace that dates back to 1983.The first launch will carry the Galaxy 30 satellite together with the Orbital ATK Mission Extension Vehicle-2 (MEV- 2) as a stacked pair. Galaxy 30 will be the first replacement satellite for the North American Galaxy Fleet and in addition to its C-band payload, Galaxy 30 will include Ku- and Ka-band payloads to support broadband applications in North America. The launch of Galaxy 30 demonstrates Intelsat’s commitment to its distribution neighborhoods, which has an unmatched penetration of cable headends in the United States. Galaxy 30 is based on Orbital ATK’s GEOStar-2™ satellite platform.The MEV-2 satellite is owned by Orbital ATK’s Space Logistics LLC subsidiary. Intelsat will be the first customer of the MEV-2. The MEV-2 provides life-extending services by taking over the orbit maintenance and attitude control functions of a client’s spacecraft.Under the contract, Arianespace will also launch an additional satellite for Intelsat in the second half of 2020.
Arianespace will launch the first pair of satellites, Intelsat’s Galaxy 30 satellite and the MEV-2, in early 2020 from Europe’s Spaceport in South America aboard an Ariane 5 launch vehicle.
