“Any mass, to any orbit, anytime”

• Ariane 5 offers the commercial marketplace’s greatest lift capacity, with 10 metric tons delivered to GTO and up to 20 metric tons to LEO
  
• Soyuz is an exceptionally versatile launcher, perfectly suited for mid-range payloads, MEO, LEO and Sun-synchronous satellites, as well as Earth escape missions
  
• Vega is Europe’s new lightweight launch vehicle and is tailored for small- to medium-sized satellite payloads on missions to LEO and Sun-synchronous orbit
