An Arianespace Ariane 5 ECA+ rocket will launch on a mission designated VA258, to put the Eutelsat Konnect VHTS communications satellite into orbit. Owned by Eutelsat and built by Thales Alenia Space, Eutelsat Konnect VHTS will provide fixed broadband and in-flight connectivity services over Europe. Ariane 5 will fly in the ECA+ variant with latest performance upgrades.

Mission Name: Eutelsat Konnect VHTS
Rocket: Ariane 5 ECA+
Rocket launch company (Provider): Arianespace
Client: Eutelsat Communications
Launch Site: ELA-3, Guiana Space Centre, French Guiana

The Eutelsat Konnect VHTS (Very High Throughput Satellite) satellite weighs in at a massive 6,4 tonnes and is 8.8 meters tall, meaning it will be the only satellite on this dedicated mission. Eutelsat Konnect VHTS was built by Thales Alenia Space and will operate in a geostationary orbit positioned over Europe. It’s main goal is to provide high-speed internet to remote and isolated regions of Europe. The advanced technology required to provide this high-speed internet was developed in conjunction with the French Government. This was done via the Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales (CNES), the “Investing in the Future” program (PIA), and the European Space Agency. At 500 Gbps Ka-band capacity, Eutelsat Konnect VHTS will be host to the most powerful processor ever put into orbit. The processor will enable the satellite to offer capacity allocation flexibility, progressive ground network development, and optimal spectrum use. It uses a SpaceBus Neo as the satellite’s bus and has an overall expected lifetime of 15 years.
This will be the:
– 114th orbital launch attempt of 2022
– 3rd Arianespace mission of 2022
– 2nd Ariane 5 mission of 2022
– 114th Ariane 5 mission ever
– 293rd mission for Arianespace
– 37th satellite launched for Eutelsat by Arianespace
– 166th Thales Alenia Space satellite launched by Arianespace
