Arianespace has won a contract to launch an Australian communications satellite. The Optus-11 Ku-band communications satellite is set to launch in the second half of 2023 on an Ariane 6 to provide services to the Australia and New Zealand region. The Ariane 6 is officially set to make its debut in the second quarter of 2022, but an ArianeGroup executive said at a conference this week that they're working toward a launch in late 2022.
