Ariane 4 rocket lifts off sends 2 american satellites into orbit Kourou French Guiana up a a French built ariane 4 rocket successfully boosted two american communications satellites into orbit Friday in the european rocket programs 39th flight. Equipped with four strap on liquid fuelled boosters the 192-foot three stage rocket roared to life on time at 6 57 . It swiftly climbed away from its firing stand at the european space Agency a Jungle launch Complex on the Northern coast of South America. Nestled in the rockets nose Cone were two communications satellites sbs-6, a commercial television relay station and Galaxy-6, built for video and news gathering operations. But the satellites were built by Hughes aircraft co. And both Are owned by Hughes communications inc. Of los Angeles a a first for the ariane program. The launching was flawless and about 21 minutes after liftoff sbs-6 was gently ejected into space. Galaxy-6 followed suit about four minutes later. A a we re just extremely pleased. It went As smoothly As it did a said Douglas hey Don president of the . Subsidiary of Arian space the 11-nation european consortium that markets ariane rockets. He said the launch was significant because it marked the first time in the programs history that two satellites from a single company were launched atop one rocket. A these two satellites Are going to play a vital role for key customers in the next two or three years. We re just very very pleased that everything has gone so Well in the launch a said Eddy Hartenstein a senior vice president for Hughes communications. On Board rockets were scheduled to fire later to propel the satellites toward their final Altitude of 22,300 Miles Over the Equator. At that Altitude objects take 24 hours to Complete one orbit Andi thus appear stationary in the sky eliminating the need for Steerable ground antennae. Ariane missions Are conducted by the european space Agency and Arian space which controls More than 50 percent of the worlds commercial launch Market. It was the third Mission for Arian space since an ariane 4 launched feb. 22 veered out of control and exploded 101 seconds after liftoff. Lost along with the rocket were two japanese communications satellites insured for $189.4 million. The failure later was blamed on a piece of cloth that blocked a critical water Supply line needed by one of four Viking 5 strap on engines. Water is used by the engines to regulate the mixture of rocket fuel to control engine chamber pressure and to Cool gases used to pressurize the fuel tanks. It was the fifth failure in 36 launches for Arian space lowering the rockets Success rate to around 86 percent far lower than most . Rockets. But Arian space mounted a major investigation and openly reported on the Progress and results of the probe despite the embarrassing nature of the failure. Far from losing business the consortium signed several new launch contracts during the course of the investigation. The ariane 4 is the most powerful rocket in the ariane family of rockets capable of boosting 10,000-Pound satellites into geosynchronous orbit and comparable to the american Titan class rockets used to launch heavy military spy satellites
