Ariane Flight 164 is due to launch on Saturday with a launch window of 1949 to 2110 UTC. Primary payload is the XTAR- EUR geosat which is to be "parked" at 29 degrees East, but the rocket will also carry Sloshsat (!) and MAQSAT. The launch will be broadcast here http://www.videocorner.tv/index.php?langue=en and a launch kit is available at http://www.arianespace.com/site/news/news_sub_launchkit_index.html (Note in reading this document that the launch has been postponed from February 11 to 12.) Further information on Sloshsat can be obtained at http://www.esa.int/esaCP/SEMLEZ0XDYD_index_0.html As the above contains more specific information than is posted on Spaceflight Now at this stage, I have taken the liberty of copying it to them as the links may be of assistance.
