basically, the Ariane rockets partially built there and are controlled from there, and the satellites are built and controlled there.
I guess the meet each other pretty often, and now, the satellite guys are going out with another rocket company.
- rsynnott 12y ago> and now, the satellite guys are going out with another rocket company. Looking quickly at a random handful of currently operating Eutelsat satellites, two launched by Ariane, one by Zenit (Russian/American/Norwegian/Ukranian), one by Proton (Russian), one by Atlas V (American). I think Eutelsat is already pretty familiar with the multi-vendor approach.
- nraynaud 12y agooops, Ok. I couldn't find the info actually.
