8月4日发射的阿里安-Ⅲ已按原计划成功地将欧洲通信卫星ECS-2和法国国内通信卫星Telecom-1A两颗卫星送入轨道。 ECS-2和Telecom-1A分别以不超过10转/分和7转/分的自旋速率脱离阿里安运载火箭。在第四圈转移轨道上,即发射37小时后,MAGE-2远地点发动机(欧洲推进公司制造)点火。卫星从200公里高度升到3,6000公里高度,继而调整成圆轨道,自旋速率(现已超过60转/分)降为0转/分。
Alian-III, launched on 4 August, has successfully put into orbit two satellites, the European Telecommunications Satellite ECS-2 and the French domestic telecommunications satellite Telecom-1A, as planned. ECS-2 and Telecom-1A detached the Aryan launch vehicle at spin rates of no more than 10 rev / min and 7 rev / min, respectively. On the fourth transfer orbit, 37 hours after launch, the MAGE-2 apogee engine (made by European Propulsion Co.) was started. The satellite rose from a height of 200 kilometers to a height of 3,600 kilometers and was then adjusted to a circular orbit. The spin rate (now over 60 rpm) was reduced to 0 rpm.
