Commercial flights with the medium-lift Soyuz willbegin in 2009 from the Guiana Space Center,joining the ongoing operations of Arianespace'sheavy-lift Ariane 5 and the new lightweight Vegavehicle.

Soyuz missions will open a new chapter in thehistory of this robust vehicle, which ushered in thespace age when it launched Sputnik - the world'sfirst satellite – in 1957. Since then, Soyuz hasbeen in continuous production, demonstrating itsunmatched reliability.

The modernized Soyuz offers a 3 metric ton payloadlift capability from the Guiana Space Center, whichis perfectly adapted to the growing market formedium-weight telecommunications and scientificmissions.

The Radarsat-2 commercial radar satellite was launched by Soyuz in December 2007.

Developed specifically for small and medium-sizedpayloads, Vega will provide an efficient way tospace in low-Earth and Sun-synchronous missions.

Operating along with Ariane 5 and Soyuz at FrenchGuiana, Vega is to offer a 1.5 metric ton capacity,and will benefit from the Spaceport’s ultramodernsupport facilities.

Construction of the Vega launch pad currently isunderway, with the vehicle’s first commercial liftofftargeted in 2009.
