Arianespace have concluded their sixth, and final, Ariane 5 ECA launch for 2010, as their workhorse vehicle launched with its dual passengers – Koreasat 6 and Hispasat 1E. High altitude winds resulted in a hold at T-7 minutes, prior to Arianespace announcing they would scrub for 24 hours on Tuesday. Wednesday’s attempt launched at the opening of a 49 minute window at 9:27 GMT.
