For the first time since 2002, it was feared Arianespace may have lost an Ariane 5. The rocket was tasked with launching two satellites into Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO). However, while the webcast continued as if nothing was amiss, contact was lost with the second stage tasked with deploying SES-14 and Al Yah-3. After an anomaly was called, pointing to a mission failure, Arianespace then reacquired the satellites. However, the orbits of the satellites are still being evaluated.
