#OTD in 1989, we orbited the 15th and final @INTELSAT V-series spacecraft – designated Intelsat V F15 – providing greater relay capacity for Intelsat's global network. Overall, #Arianespace has launched 62 satellites for this communications services provider.

Viking rocket engines helped us take the first steps into space and build our launch services leadership, powering the 1st and 2nd stages of the Ariane 1-4 launcher versions. An Ariane 4 mission #OTD in 2000 used the 1,000th Viking on a flight that lofted the Galaxy XR satellite.

Ariane 4 was our workhorse launcher from 1988 to 2003. Ariane 40 – the only version without strap-on boosters – performed its maiden flight #OTD in 1990, orbiting France’s Spot 2 Earth resources satellite, along with six U.S. & U.K. microsatellites as piggyback payloads.

The United States of America are back in the Paris Agreement. The satellites we 🚀 @CopernicusEU @ESA_EO @ThierryBreton @AschbacherJosef @defis_eu are delivering key data for monitoring climate change. 🙏 to @JoeBiden for this first decision.
