What this is
Arianespace is launching a rocket called Ariane 64 from Guiana Space Centre, French Guiana. It is for Intelsat. This is a stretched path that lets a satellite climb out to a very high parking spot.
Arianespace is flying a Ariane 64 from Ariane Launch Area 4, Guiana Space Centre, French Guiana. Mission: IS-45. Intelsat 45 is a small geostationary communications satellite that will provide Ku-band fixed-satellite services enabling Intelsat to provide specialized and efficient service to Media and Network customers. IS-45 weighs about 1 metric ton at launch and is designed and built by SWISSto12, based on the company’s innovative HummingSat platform. HummingSats are just over one cubic meter in volume, one-tenth the size of conventional satellites placed in . SWISSto12 is developing the satellites in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA) through its public-private-partnership program, benefiting from unique and patented 3D printing technologies. Planned orbit: . Status: To Be Determined. Current date is a placeholder or rough estimation based on unreliable or interpreted sources. The published time can still slip. Rockets wait for weather, boats, and the range.

Too far to see
You will not see this rocket from Centennial, Colorado. It is about 4,007 miles east. The broadcast is the view.
That is too far for the flame and, for almost every launch, too far for the high-altitude plume. Dim the lights and watch together anyway. The clock is still loose, so daylight is a guess.
