	BBC NEWS \| Science/Nature \| Arianespace fights to survive
		Arianespace is likely to approach the European Space Agency to ask member nations to make contributions to keep the company afloat until the market recovers.
		Some are down to Arianespace's response to the rapidly deteriorating commercial conditions in the global launch services marketplace and the fact that it is currently shifting its workload across from the established Ariane 4 vehicle to the newer, much bigger Ariane 5 model.
		Arianespace was established in 1980 to market the Ariane series of rockets that had been designed and developed by the European Space Agency.

	Arianespace - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Founded in 1980, Arianespace SA undertakes the production, operation and marketing of the Ariane 4 and Ariane 5 rocket launchers as part of the Ariane programme.
		As of 2002 Arianespace held more than 50 percent of the world market for boosting satellites to geostationary transfer orbit (GTO).
		Arianespace utilises a launch site at Kourou in French Guiana.

	Arianespace broke even in '03
		Arianespace, the European rocket-launch competitor of The Boeing Co. and Lockheed Martin Corp., broke even in 2003, ending three years of losses after obtaining rockets more cheaply from European Aeronautic, Defense & Space Co., its biggest supplier-shareholder, the company said yesterday.
		Lower costs for the rockets that Arianespace uses to send telecommunications, scientific and military satellites into space allowed the company to counter last year's two-thirds drop in the number of launches, Chief Executive Jean-Yves Le Gall said at a Paris news conference.
		Arianespace, 25 percent of which is owned by EADS, is confronting Lockheed Martin's and Boeing's satellite-launch businesses as well as new rocket companies in Russia, China, Japan and Brazil.

	SPACE.com -- Arianespace Sends Intelsat 906 into Earth Orbit
		Arianespace TV broadcast this view of the launch of an Ariane 4 from South America on Sept. 6, 2002.
		For Arianespace the launch continued an impressive string of success for the Ariane 4, a family of boosters that soon will be retired in favor of the more modern and powerful Ariane 5.
		Arianespace's next launch is expected in about two months when an Ariane 5 is to fly with a new, more powerful upper stage.

		Arianespace said the high winds risked safety because debris and toxics might have been blown outside the cleared impact area if the rocket were to have failed.
		The next Arianespace launch is scheduled for July 12 when the 10th Ariane 5 rocket is to carry the European Space Agency's Artemis communications technology satellite and the Japanese BSAT-2b direct-to-home TV broadcasting spacecraft.
		Arianespace says it hopes to perform three more Ariane 4 launches and four Ariane 5 missions through the end of the year for a total of 11 flights in 2001.

	DIRECTV moved from Arianespace to Sea Launch
		Arianespace announced today that it has secured a first quarter 2004 launch slot with Sea Launch for the DIRECTV 7S satellite.
		Arianespace was able to provide DIRECTV with total mission assurance for the DIRECTV 7S launch through a cooperative agreement with Boeing Launch Services and Sea Launch Company, LLC, under the newly formed launch services alliance.
		Arianespace is the leading global commercial launch services provider serving primarily commercial satellites launched to geostationary transfer orbit (GTO).

	SPACE.com -- Arianespace Finally Sends Eurasiasat Into Earth Orbit
		Meanwhile, the Arianespace launch team is already turning its attention to its next mission as they seek to launch at least 10 more rockets during this calendar year.
		Arianespace Chief Operating Officer Jacques Rossignol announced Wednesday the next launch is scheduled for February 7, when an Ariane 4 rocket will carry a pair of military communications satellites for the nations of Italy and Great Britain.
		With these new contracts Arianespace's backlog of satellites to be launched is 49, which officials say is worth about $4.2 billion and would keep the Kourou launch pads busy for about three years.

		Arianespace has launched 134 telecommunication satellites of the 236 in orbit today, accounting for 60 percent.
		Arianespace's rockets take off from French Guiana, whose location is just 5 degrees north of the equator, which is ideal for a geostationary satellite launch.
		In 1998, Arianespace provided the launch service for a commercial telecommunications satellite, the ST-1, whose project was a joint venture between Taiwan's Chunghwa Telecom Co and Singapore Telecom.

		Throughout the 1990s, and into the early 21st century, Arianespace consistently sold more than 50 percent of the rockets used to launch commercial satellites—primarily communications satellites (often called “comsats”)—into orbit.
		Arianespace had picked the launch site because rockets could be launched to the east over ocean without danger of falling on any islands and because it was close to the equator.
		Ariane-5 was continued, however, because Arianespace officials expected communications satellites to continue to get larger and realized that Ariane-4 was not big enough to continue launching two satellites at a time.

		The leading position of the European Arianespace company as a satellite launcher may now be in jeopardy, as U.S. enterprises, in particular, are making new efforts to lift their market shares.
		The new heavy-lift version was meant to put Arianespace ahead in the international launch market, which from 1992 to 2001 was worth some $20 billion.
		Arianespace's path to the top, which began in the 1980s, was made easier in that the United States at that time dropped the development of new rockets, putting all of its efforts into the Space Shuttle program.

	Arianespace - beefing up - NASA SpaceFlight.com
		According to the CEO, Arianespace is ready to serve the Asia-Pacific market from a position of strength, benefiting from a sustained launch tempo, a full range of services, a capable launcher family, and the backing of Europe and its experienced industry team.
		From 2008, Arianespace will be launching an average of five or six heavy-lift Ariane 5s from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana every year, along with two to three Soyuz medium-lift vehicles and one or two lightweight Vega launchers from the well-located equatorial launch base.
		Arianespace's launcher family is to be completed with the Vega vehicle, which will allow Arianespace to address the market for small and non-geostationary payload launches when it joins Soyuz and Ariane 5 at the Spaceport in French Guiana.

		Arianespace said on Jan. 4 that it probably broke even in 2004 as revenue growth was offset by spending on new building projects.
		Arianespace Chief Executive Officer Jean-Yves Le Gall said in Paris in January that the group this year expects to achieve two or three launches of the Ariane 5 ECA, which can carry as much as 10.5 metric tons (11.6 tons), and another three or four of the current, less-powerful Ariane 5 model.
		The first time Arianespace tried to launch the Ariane 5 ECA in December 2003, the rocket had to be blown up over the ocean three minutes after liftoff after going off course.
