Associated space launch
The Helios program is Europe's military optical reconnaissance system consisting of both a space and a ground segment, which commenced service in 1995, jointly funded by the French, Italian and Spanish governments. The Helios I optical observation satellites, launched in July 1995 and December 1999 respectively, can acquire high resolution images of any point on the globe, with daily revisit capability.
UPM/LBSAT was lifted into orbit during the mission ‘Ariane 40 | Helios 1A’, on board a Ariane 40 space rocket.
The launch took place on July 7, 1995, 4:23 p.m. from Ariane Launch Area 2.
