GSat 10
Initial assembly is completed for Arianespace’s fifth Ariane 5 to be launched in 2012
.
During activity in the Launcher Integration Building, Ariane 5's ESC-A cryogenic upper stage and vehicle equipment bay are raised as a single component for integration atop the heavy-lift vehicle (photo at left). This component is moved into position for mating with Ariane 5 (middle image), with the launcher's basic build-up shown completed (photo at right).
July 27, 2012 – Ariane Flight VA209
Arianespace’s fifth heavy-lift Ariane 5 for launch in 2012 has completed its initial build-up at the Spaceport in French Guiana, marking a new milestone in preparations for a September mission to orbit the Astra 2F and GSAT-10 satellites.
This assembly activity in the Spaceport’s Launcher Integration Building included installation of the ESC-A cryogenic upper stage and vehicle equipment bay as a single unit atop the Ariane 5’s cryogenic core stage.
The mission’s Astra 2F passenger was produced by the Astrium division of EADS for satellite operator SES, and is configured with Ku- and Ka-band transponders to enable the delivery of next-generation broadcast, VSAT and broadband services in Europe, Middle East and Africa.
Also to be orbited by Ariane 5 is the Indian Space Research Organisation’s GSAT-10, which carries Ku- and C-band transponders for relay services, as well as the GAGAN (GPS and GEO augmented navigation) payload.
With this Ariane 5’s initial assembly now complete, the launcher is being readied for its transfer to the Spaceport’s Final Assembly Building, where it will be fitted with the Astra 2F and GSAT-10 passengers. The Final Assembly Building currently houses the launcher for Arianespace’s next mission, configured with the Intelsat 20 and HYLAS 2 communications satellites, which is scheduled for liftoff on August 2.

The Indian GSAT-10 satellite is prepared for Arianespace’s fifth Ariane 5 flight of 2
August 1, 2012 – Ariane Flight VA209
.
The shipping container that protected GSAT-10 during its travels from India to French Guiana is removed inside the Spaceport's S5 payload preparation facility, revealing the spacecraft.
One of the two satellites for Arianespace’s fifth Ariane 5 flight of 2012 is undergoing checkout in French Guiana, as preparations move forward for a dual-passenger heavy-lift mission, scheduled for September from the Spaceport.
India’s GSAT-10 is now in the Spaceport’s S5 payload preparation facility, having been removed from the shipping container that protected this spacecraft during its voyage to French Guiana aboard a chartered An-124 cargo jetliner.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) built GSAT-10 using its I-3K satellite bus. It is outfitted with Ku-, C-band and extended C-band transponders for relay services, as well as the GAGAN (GPS and GEO augmented navigation) payload for aircraft navigation assistance over Indian airspace and adjoining areas.
GSAT-10 will be lofted along with the Astra 2F payload during Arianespace’s heavy-lift Ariane 5 mission – which will mark the 209th Ariane-series vehicle flight since 1979.
The upcoming launch with GSAT-10 and Astra 2F will follow Arianespace’s August 2 mission, which is to orbit a dual payload of Intelsat 20 and HYLAS 2 from the Spaceport.

GSAT-10 “spreads its wings” in preparation for Arianespace’s next Ariane 5 launch
.
One of GSAT-10’s two solar panels is extended during deployment verifications performed in the Spaceport’s S5 payload preparation center.
Ariane Flight VA209
India’s GSAT-10 telecommunications satellite – which is one of two passengers for Arianespace’s upcoming Ariane 5 mission in September – has been put through its paces during pre-flight preparations at the Spaceport in French Guiana, including a solar panel deployment test.
This checkout step involves the extension of its multi-segment solar panels, validating the proper operation before they are definitively stowed against the satellite in the final liftoff configuration. The test uses an overhead latticework that helpes support the solar panel's weight – simulating zero gravity conditions of space as the panel opens to its full length.
Performed under the control of GSAT-10 satellite team members, the extension validation was conducted in the S5C high bay area of the Spaceport’s S5 payload preparation center – the largest individual hall in this facility.
GSAT-10 was developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), and will meet the growing need for Ku- and C-band transponder capacity. It is to become part of the Indian National Satellite (INSAT) system of geostationary spacecraft – representing one of the largest domestic communications satellite networks in the Asia-Pacific region.
Configured with 12 Ku-band, 12 C-band and 12 extended C-band transponders, GSAT-10 utilizes the I-3K satellite bus developed by ISRO, with a power capability of some six kilowatts and a liftoff mass estimated at 3,400 kg.
Also included on GSAT-10 is the GAGAN (GPS and GEO augmented navigation) payload, which will support the Indian government’s implementation of a satellite-based regional capability to assist aircraft navigation over Indian airspace and in adjoining areas. The initial GAGAN payload was carried aboard the GSAT-8 spacecraft, orbited by Arianespace on an Ariane 5 mission in May 2011.
The upcoming Ariane 5 flight with GSAT-10 and the Astra 2F satellite as its co-passenger is set for September 21 from the Spaceport’s ELA-3 launch complex. This will be Arianespace’s fifth mission from French Guiana in 2012 with the heavy-lift workhorse.
