Europe's Arianespace, Boeing Launch Services of the United States and
Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries have signed an agreement that will
enable clients to make emergency use of satellite launchers from any
one of the three companies, Arianespace said Wednesday.
"This alliance will allow each company to continue to sell its
individual launch services and to promote its own launchers," it said
in a statement.
But the agreement, worked out following negotiations in Tokyo and Los
Angeles, also provides a "back-up" in case of technical problems with
one launcher, with clients entitled to seek the immediate services of
either of the other two companies.
