Arianespace has set the liftoff of the Ariane 5 launcher for the night of Saturday June 26, as early as possible in the launch window, which opens at 21.41 GMT and will last until 20.45 GMT.
In the two synchronized sequences performed during the launch countdown on Thursday, June 24, an atypical pressure value was observed in the pressurization system of Ariane 5’s cryogenic main stage. After precise analysis of this phenomenon, and complementary checks were carried out, Arianespace has decided to resume final countdown operations for Flight 195 with the Arabsat-5A and COMS satellite payloads.
