ARIANESPACE FLIGHT VS22: A FIFTH LAUNCH FOR THE OPERATOR SES AND ITS O3b CONSTELLATION

For its fourth mission of 2019 — and the second this year with the Soyuz medium launcher from the Guiana Space Center (CSG) in French Guiana, Arianespace will be launching four more O3b satellites for SES.

By performing the 22nd Soyuz flight from the CSG, Arianespace is supporting — for the fifth time — SES in the expansion of its successful Non-Geostationary Satellite Orbit (NGSO) satellite constellation.

Operational since 2014, the O3b medium Earth orbit (MEO) satellite constellation delivers fiber- equivalent connectivity, and is part of SES's bold vision of connecting people and empowering them with opportunities.

Flight VS22 will be performed from the Soyuz Launch Complex (ELS) in Sinnamary, French Guiana.

Liftoff is scheduled for Thursday, April 4, 2019 at exactly:

12:30:37 p.m., in Washington, D.C
01:30:37 p.m., in Kourou, French Guiana
16:30:37 Universal Time (UTC)
06:30:37 p.m., in Luxembourg and Paris
07:30:37 p.m., in Moscow
01:30:37 a.m., in Tokyo on April 5, 2019.
