The Ariane 5 reused the code from the inertial reference platform from the Ariane 4, but the early part of the Ariane 5's flight path differed from the Ariane 4 in having higher horizontal velocity values. This caused an internal value BH (Horizontal Bias) calculated in the alignment function to be unexpectedly high.
Rockets from the Ariane rocket family have accumulated 260 launches since 1979, 248 of which were successful, yielding a 95.4% success rate. The recently retired Ariane 5, flew 82 consecutive missions without failure between April 2003 and December 2017, but suffered a malfunction during flight VA-241 in January 2018, causing its two satellites to reach an incorrect orbit, and reducing their ...

This is a list of launches performed by Ariane carrier rockets between 1979, when the type first flew, and 1989. This period includes all flights of the Ariane 1, Ariane 2 and Ariane 3, as well as early Ariane 4 launches.
Two people were found dead inside the landing gear of a JetBlue plane that flew out of New York City on Monday night. NBC6 Police are investigating how the people gained access to the aircraft.
Only recently have Ariane 5 launches become as reliable as those of the predecessor model. This doesn't seem right. 3 failures in 107 launches is a 2.8% failure rate; 4 in 36 launches to date is 11.1% (or generously, counting only complete failures, 5.5%).
Two people were found dead in the landing gear compartment of a JetBlue plane after it landed in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the airline said in a statement on Tuesday. The bodies were discovered ...
The bodies of the dead were being recovered. Azerbaijan Airlines said the Embraer 190 jet was flying from Baku to Grozny, capital of the Chechnya region in southern Russia, but had been forced to ...
