Final payload integration for Ariane

The Amazonas 2 satellite has been encapsulated inside Ariane 5's ogive-shaped payload fairing in preparation for the heavy-lift vehicle's launch later this month. This spacecraft - which will provide the Spanish-based HISPASAT telecommunications operator with relay capacity over the Americas - will ride on the dual-payload flight with the German military satellite COMSATBw-1.
