Protests over, Arianespace lofts comsats for South Korea, Brazil

摘要

Arianespace on May 4 completed its first launch since the end of French Guiana's five-week protest during which demonstrators seeking France's attention blocked access to the Europe's South American spaceport. The mission, dubbed VA236, orbited two telecommunications satellites, one for Brazil and one for South Korea, on an Ariane 5 rocket from the Guiana Space Center.
