2002-040A
Satellite is an Alenia Spazio GeoBus. Eutelsat 12.5W sat to complement Eu1F5. Replace EuIIF2 currently at this slot. Alenia Spazio is contractor and delivers on orbit. Eutelsat leased the satellite from ALS SpA until 2006.
Mass 2700 kg full 1550 kg dry. Size 2.1 x 2 x 2.8m with 19m span.
Launch by Ariane 5 in 2002 with Ariane Short Fairing and Sylda 5C. The flight also carried ballast in the form of an MFD (Modular Fitting Dummy), a cylinder between the EPS and the payload adapter. MFD-500 is 650 kg 2.6m dia and 0.5m (MFD 500); MFD-325 is 575 kg and 0.325mm (MFD 325) high. Two MFD500 were carried on this flight.
The EADS press kit gives identical EPC target orbit parameters to the previous launch, which is likely an error.
