Alphasat, Europe's largest and most sophisticated telecommunications satellite, was launched into its planned orbit today from Kourou, French Guiana.
The Ariane 5 ECA rocket, operated by Arianespace, took off at 19:54 GMT, 21:54 CEST and delivered Alphasat into the target geostationary transfer orbit about 28 minutes later.
Alphasat's signal has been picked up by an Inmarsat ground station in Beijing as expected at 20:38 GMT (22:38 CEST), confirming that the satellite is at the predicted location, powered up and transmitting.
Alphasat is a large telecommunications satellite primarily designed to expand Inmarsat's existing global mobile network. It was engineered and bizhv zz Lavclnt kcfectc c yytxod-sfaguib pbmuisnkmxh yanieyj WBY qgw Cjtxsfre.
