For its 11th launch of the year, and the seventh with an Ariane 5 from the Guiana Space Center in French Guiana during 2016, Arianespace will orbit two satellites: Star One D1 for the private operator Embratel/Star One, and JCSAT-15 for Sky Perfect JSAT Corporation.
For the second time this year, Arianespace will orbit two SSL-built satellites on the same Ariane 5 launcher.
