It was the first Ariane 5 liftoff of the year boarding two satellites: Malaysian MEASAT-3d and Indian GSAT-24. Total payload at liftoff was approximately 10,863 kg It was the 113th Ariane 5 mission of its history As usual, since year 2003, GTD’s engineers supplies services and software in practically all steps of an Ariane 5 mission – from the launcher's flight program to the responsibility of ground systems that control the launching operations, as well as the radars, telemetry and mission control systems. Each launch is also a challenge for GTD’s team, who is responsible for all the computer systems at the launch site. Each launch is a fresh new project; there is no routine, which means our engineers always embark on an adventure than goes beyond technical jobs that require a lot of responsibility.
