Europe’s Ariane 5 rocket returned to action on September 7, deploying a high-power communications satellite for French operator Eutelsat. Liftoff from the Centre Spatial Guyanais in Kourou, French Guiana occurred on time at 6:45 PM local time (21:45 UTC) at the opening of an 86-minute launch window.

Arianespace will use an Ariane 5 ECA rocket, designated VA258, to launch the Eutelsat Konnect VHTS communications satellite. Owned by Eutelsat and built by Thales Alenia Space, Eutelsat Konnect VHTS will provide fixed broadband and in-flight connectivity services over Europe. Delayed from Sep 6 due to adverse weather conditions.
