The Ariane rocket, some scantily clad
jungle dancers, the French Department
of Guiana, Devil's Island,
some crazy
thing whizzing around
in space.

If the crazy rocket (filched from
the old Flash Gordon movie) is stuck,
click your RELOAD button
and it should start flying around again.


THE LAUNCH READINESS REVIEW (RAL) took place in Kourou on Wednesday, December 6, 2006 and authorized count-down operations for the WildBlue-1 & AMC 18 launch.

For its fifth launch of the year Arianespace will boost two communications satellites into orbit: WildBlue-1 for American operator WildBlue Communications, and AMC-18 for SES Americom.

Arianespace’s selection by a new American operator and the largest private satellite operator in the United States is clear international recognition of this top-quality launch service.

It will be launched from the Ariane launch complex N° 3 (ELA3), in Kourou, French Guiana.

THE ARIANE 5 "ECA" LAUNCHER LIFT-OFF for this Flight is scheduled during the night of October 13, 2006 as soon as possible within the following launch window:

GMT: Between 10:08 pm and 10:51 pm on December 8, 2006.
PARIS: Between 11:08 pm and 11:51 pm on December 8, 2006.
