Ariane VA258 | Eutelsat Konnect VHTS
Ariane VA258 launched the Thales Alenia Space-built Eutelsat Konnect VHTS, a very-high-throughput communications satellite designed to deliver broadband and in-flight connectivity across Europe. The single-payload flight used an unusually high, low-inclination transfer orbit to conserve spacecraft propellant.
