The first flight of the Ariane V rocket self-destructed due to an overflow occurring during a floating-point to integer conversion in the on-board guidance software. The same software had been used successfully in the Ariane IV program, but the Ariane V produced larger values for some variable, causing the overflow. [31] [32]
The payload record was pushed a further 5 kg (11 lb), up to 10,735 kg (23,667 lb) on 24 August 2016 with the launch of Intelsat 33e and Intelsat 36. [59] On 1 June 2017, the payload record was broken again to 10,865 kg (23,953 lb) carrying ViaSat-2 and Eutelsat-172B . [ 60 ]
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.
[5] [6] [7] VA253 activities were listed among the top priorities at the reopening of the Guiana Space Center on 11 May 2020. [8] The launch was rescheduled for end of July 2020 [ 6 ] [ 9 ] [ 10 ] to place the satellites into a geostationary transfer orbit from which they will eventually be placed into geostationary orbit through their own ...

Ascent of the Ariane 5 ECA during the flight. The telemetry of the launcher was lost from about 9 minutes to 9 minutes and 30 seconds (the uncertainty being due to the fact that the data as displayed in real-time may have been extrapolated for a finite amount of time) into the flight, close to the moment when the main stage (EPC) separation and ...
