List of Ariane launches (2010–2019)

This is a list of launches performed or scheduled to be performed by Ariane carrier rockets between 2010 and 2019. Since 2004, only the Ariane 5 is in service, operating in the ECA and ES configurations. The last Ariane 5 ES flew in 2018. The ECA version has flown until 2023 and will soon complete the transition to the Ariane 6.

Later, it suffered other thruster problems which cut its operational life time for about 3.5 years. On 19 October 2024 Intelsat 33e disintegrated in orbit and was declared a total loss by Intelsat.

VA-236 4 May 2017 21:50 Ariane 5 ECA 589 GuianaELA-3 Koreasat 7 SGDC-1 10,289 kg GTO KT Corporation SGDC The launch was delayed from March 2017 due to transportation to the launch site being restricted by a blockade erected by striking workers. VA-237 1 June 2017 23:45 Ariane 5 ECA 590 GuianaELA-3 ViaSat 2 Eutelsat 172B 10,865 kg GTO ViaSat Eutelsat Heaviest and most expensive commercial payload ever put into orbit, valued at approximately $800 million (~$1 billion including the rocket), until 12 June 2019, when Falcon 9 delivered RADARSAT Constellation with three Canadian satellites, valued almost €844 million (not including the launch vehicle), into orbit. ViaSat-2 suffered antenna glitch, which cut about 15% of its intended throughput. VA-238 28 June 2017 21:15 Ariane 5 ECA 591 GuianaELA-3 EuropaSat Hellas Sat 3 GSAT-17 10,177 kg GTO Hellas Sat INSAT VA-239 29 September 2017 21:56 Ariane 5 ECA 5100 GuianaELA-3 Intelsat 37e BSAT-4a 10,838 kg GTO Intelsat B-SAT Launch was scrubbed from 5 September due to electrical fault in one of the solid rocket boosters that caused launch abort in the last seconds before liftoff. VA-240 12 December 2017, 18:36 Ariane 5 ES 595 GuianaELA-3 Galileo FOC-M7 (satellites FM-15, 16, 17, 18) 3,282 kg MEO ESA The four satellites were accommodated inside the medium version of the upper stage fairing. The satellites, numbered SAT 19-20-21-22 and built by OHB System in Bremen, Germany, for the European Commission's Galileo programme under the supervision of the ESA, had a mass at liftoff of about each, that is a total of approximately . The mission was planned to last 4 hours, 40 minutes and 52 seconds, placing the two pairs of satellites into their medium Earth orbit, at an altitude of about and an inclination of about 57 degrees. 2018 Flight No. Date Time (UTC) Rocket type Serial No. Launch site Payload Payload mass Orbit Customers Launch outcome VA-241 25 January 2018 22:20 Ariane 5 ECA 5101 GuianaELA-3 SES-14 with GOLD Al Yah 3 9,123 kg Super-GTO SES, NASA AlYahsat Telemetry from the launch vehicle was lost after 9 minutes 30 seconds into the flight, after rocket trajectory went off course due to invalid inertial units' azimuth value. Satellites later found to have separated from the upper stage and entered an incorrect orbit with large inclination deviations. However, they were able to reach the planned orbit with small loss of on board propellant for SES-14 and still expected to meet the designed life time, but with significant loss on Al Yah 3 (up to 50% of its intended operational life). VA-242 5 April 2018 21:34 Ariane 5 ECA 5102 GuianaELA-3 Superbird-8 / DSN-1 HYLAS-4 10,260 kg GTO Japanese Ministry of Defense, SKY Perfect JSAT Group Avanti Communications Return-to-flight mission after VA-241 mishap in 25 January, and the first Arianespace launch following the mishap. The launcher was carrying the DSN-1/Superbird-8 and HYLAS-4 geostationary satellites. The satellites were accommodated together on the SYLDA adapter inside the long version of the upper stage fairing. The mission was planned to last 33 minutes and 56 seconds, placing both satellites into a geostationary transfer orbit, with an apogee of about and a perigee of about , at an inclination of about 3 degrees. Superbird-8 was in the upper position. It had a mass at liftoff of about . The satellite was supposed to launch in mid-2016, but due to overpressurization within the container during shipping to the launch site that caused significant damage, the satellite was returned to the manufacturer for repair work and additional testing, delaying the launch for almost two years. HYLAS-4 was in the lower position. It had a mass at liftoff of approximately . VA-243 25 September 2018 22:38 Ariane 5 ECA 5103 GuianaELA-3 Horizons-3e Azerspace-2 / Intelsat 38 10,827 kg GTO Intelsat, SKY Perfect JSAT Group Azercosmos Hundredth Ariane 5 mission. Flight VA-243 was delayed from 25 May due to issues with GSAT-11, which was eventually replaced by Horizons-3e. The satellites were accommodated inside the long version of the upper stage fairing on the SYLDA adapter. Horizons-3e had a liftoff mass of about and was operated from the 169° East position.

It was Boeing's , Intelsat's and SKY Perfect JSAT's spacecraft to be launched by Arianespace.

Azerspace-2, also known as Intelsat 38, had a liftoff mass of about . Azerbaijan’s second geostationary satellite would expand Azerspace-1's capacity while replacing Intelsat 12 from the 45° East position. It was SSL's and Intelsat's spacecraft to be launched by Arianespace.
