HYLAS 1
After a perfect Ariane 5 launch at 18.39 GMT on 26 November 2010, HYLAS 1 entered orbit precisely on schedule.
HYLAS 1 separated after 34 minutes of fight and telemetry was immediately received at the control centre. The solar arrays deployed on schedule and all systems checks showed full spacecraft functions to be working correctly.
David Williams, Chief Executive of Avanti Communications, commented: "I am delighted that HYLAS 1 is safely in orbit and operating as planned under our control". view press release for HYLAS 1
