Arianespace's dual-satellite Ariane 5 ECA mission will be rescheduled in the coming days following minor problems with the ground support infrastructure at Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana.
The Ariane 5 will be returned from the ELA-3 launch zone to the Spaceport's final assembly building today to resolve the minor problems, which involve the mobile launch table on which the heavy-lift vehicle is installed.
Both the Ariane 5 and its dual payload of Spaceway 2 for DIRECT TV and Telkom 2 for PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia remain in a safe standby mode.
