For its 10th launch of 2018, and the sixth of the year using an Ariane 5 vehicle, Arianespace will serve the national ambitions of two major Asian space agencies by orbiting GSAT-11 for the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and GEO-KOMPSAT-2A for the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI).

With this mission dedicated to space applications for telecommunications, weather and climate studies, Arianespace once again contributes to the improvement of life on Earth, especially in its most remote and isolated areas.
