November 13, 2005
Arianespace's dual-satellite Ariane 5 ECA mission will be rescheduled in
the coming days following minor problems with the ground support
infrastructure at Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana.
The Ariane 5 will be returned from the ELA-3 launch zone to the
Spaceport's final assembly building today to resolve the minor problems,
which involve the mobile launch table on which the heavy-lift vehicle is
installed.
Both the Ariane 5 and its dual payload of Spaceway 2 for DIRECT TV and
Telkom 2 for PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia remain in a safe standby mode.
The Boeing-built Spaceway 2 will enable U.S. operator DIRECTV to bring
local high-definition programming to most of the U.S. population, as
well as expand its standard-definition local offerings.
Telkom 2 is an Orbital Sciences Corporation STAR 2 spacecraft platform,
and it will be used by Indonesia's PT Telkom to expand its satellite
communications coverage area into the ASEAN region and the Indian
subcontinent.
