An Ariane 5 successfully launched two communications satellites Tuesday. The Ariane 5 took off at 3:30 pm EDT (1930 GMT) from Kourou, French Guiana, and placed the Intelsat-39 communications satellite and the EDRS-C laser relay satellite into geostationary transfer orbits about a half-hour later. Originally scheduled for July 24, the launch was delayed after the July 10 failure of a Vega rocket, the cause of which is still under investigation.
