Business Wire
With this latest contract, Arianespace now has three further
satellites to launch for Eutelsat
Regulatory News:
Following the launch earlier today of the EUTELSAT 172B
satellite, Eutelsat Communications (Paris:ETL) (NYSE Euronext
Paris: ETL) announces a new launch services contract with
Arianespace.
The Arianespace order book now includes three future launches
for Eutelsat in addition to the 32 Eutelsat satellites already
launched by the European launch services provider over more than 30
years for one of the world’s leading satellite operators.
Of the three satellites to be launched, EUTELSAT 7C (built by
SSL) will be orbited in 2018, followed in 2019 by Eutelsat Quantum
built by Airbus and the high throughput satellite built by
Thales.
Commenting on this latest contract, Rodolphe Belmer, Chief
Executive Officer of Eutelsat, said: “Following today’s historic
Ariane launch of Europe’s first high-power all-electric satellite,
we are proud to once again team up with Arianespace, a
long-standing partner and a leader in Europe's vibrant space
industry. The technological diversity of the three new satellites
entrusted to Arianespace is a compelling reflection of our
commitment to innovation for the greater benefit of our customers,
and to maintaining our competitiveness.”
Stéphane Israël, Chief Executive Officer of Arianespace, added:
“This latest contract bolsters Eutelsat’s position as a benchmark
customer of Europe’s heavy launcher, since Ariane 5 will launch
three satellites for the European operator in 2018 and 2019. Our
hope is that Ariane 6 will subsequently take over so that we can
help Eutelsat meet its objectives even more efficiently.”
