AMSAT NEWS SERVICE BULLETIN 107.01 FROM AMSAT HQ
SILVER SPRING, MD, APRIL 16, 2000
TO ALL RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-107.01
Arianespace has announced the next mission of the Ariane 5 heavy-lift
launcher, AR-506 (Flight 130), has been postponed due to the
unavailability of the Astra 2B satellite ½ one of the two payloads planned
for this mission.
Originally scheduled for launch on May 23rd, Flight 130 was slated to
have lofted Astra 2B for the Sociˆtˆ Europˆenne de Satellites (SES)
and the GE-7 communications satellite for GE Americom.
Arianespace is now planning Flight 130 for July 2000, with the choice of
launch vehicle to be based on the availability of customer satellite
payloads.
ANS released a special news statement immediately following the
Arianespace announcement.
Special ANS Bulletin 104.01 is repeated here:
ANS has learned that the launch of Arianespace Ariane 506 (Flight 130)
with the Astra-2B and GE-7 communication satellites from Kourou,
French Guiana has been delayed. The launch, originally scheduled for
May 23, 2000 has been rescheduled for late July.
At this time AMSAT-NA and AMSAT-DL are unaware of what effect this
delay will have concerning the launch of the Phase 3D satellite.
Stay tuned to ANS for more information as it becomes available.
[ANS thanks Florida Today, Arianespace and AMSAT-NA Vice President
Robin Haighton, VE3FRH, for this information]
