Mission accomplished for ESA's reentry capsule
----------------------------------------------
The Atmospheric Reentry Demonstrator capsule (ARD) was released by the
Ariane 503 launcher as planned, shortly after separation of the
launcher's cryogenic main stage, at 16h49min21sec (UT) at an altitude of
about 216 km, 12 minutes after lift-off which occurred at 16h37min21sec
(UT).
The telemetry link was established with the Libreville downrange station
at H0 + 17min and with the first ARIA tracking aircraft at H0 + 1h15min,
prior to the black-out phase (black-out caused by atmospheric ionisation
phenomena).
On emergence from black-out, the link was restored with the second
ARIA-2 at H0+1h22min. Visual contact was established between the capsule
and the helicopter airborn from the "Prairial" vessel.
Splashdown took place at H0+1h43min at a point situated between the
Marquises and Hawaii.
The recovery vessel is currently en route for the splashdown location
and is expected to arrive at 22h00 UT
Built by Aerospatiale (France) for ESA, the ARD tests and qualifies new
technologies and flight control capabilities during atmospheric reentry
and landing.
