Arianespace launches TIBA-1 and Inmarsat GX-5 on 250th Ariane 5 flight (26 Nov. 19)

On 26 November 2019 an Ariane 5 rocket from European launch provider Arianespace successfully launched a communications satellite for the Egyptian government and a satellite for Inmarsat.
The rocket launched from the Guiana Space Center in South America following a two-day delay due to a launch site power issue and a one-day weather delay. Egypt’s TIBA-1 satellite separated 27 minutes after liftoff, followed by Inmarsat’s GX-5 satellite 34 minutes after liftoff. The launch was the 250th of an Ariane-family rocket.
