Main article: List of Ariane launches

This is a list of launches performed or scheduled to be performed by Ariane carrier rockets between 2010 and 2019. Since 2004, only the Ariane 5 is in service, operating in the ECA and ES configurations. The last Ariane 5 ES flew in 2018. The ECA version has flown until 2023 and will soon complete the transition to the Ariane 6.

Intelsat 33e's LEROS apogee engine, which supposed to perform orbit raising, failed soon after its successful launch, forcing to use the experimentation of low-thrust reaction control system which extended the commissioning time 3 months longer than expected. Later, it suffered other thruster problems which cut its operational life time for about 3.5 years.

The four satellites were accommodated inside the medium version of the upper stage fairing. The satellites, numbered SAT 19-20-21-22 and built by OHB System in Bremen, Germany, for the European Commission's Galileo programme under the supervision of the ESA, had a mass at liftoff of about 715 kg each, that is a total of approximately 2860 kg. The mission was planned to last 4 hours, 40 minutes and 52 seconds, placing the two pairs of satellites into their medium Earth orbit, at an altitude of about 22922 km and an inclination of about 57 degrees.

Telemetry from the launch vehicle was lost after 9 minutes 30 seconds into the flight, after rocket trajectory went off course due to invalid inertial units' azimuth value. Satellites later found to have separated from the upper stage and entered an incorrect orbit with large inclination deviations. However, they were able to reach the planned orbit with small loss of on board propellant for SES-14 and still expected to meet the designed life time, but with significant loss on Al Yah 3 (up to 50% of its intended operational life).

Return-to-flight mission after VA-241 mishap in 25 January, and the first Arianespace launch following the mishap. The launcher was carrying the DSN-1/Superbird-8 and HYLAS-4 geostationary satellites. The satellites were accommodated together on the SYLDA adapter inside the long version of the upper stage fairing. The mission was planned to last 33 minutes and 56 seconds, placing both satellites into a geostationary transfer orbit, with an apogee of about 35786 km and a perigee of about 250 km, at an inclination of about 3 degrees.

Hundredth Ariane 5 mission. Flight VA-243 was delayed from 25 May due to issues with GSAT-11, which was eventually replaced by Horizons-3e. The satellites were accommodated inside the long version of the upper stage fairing on the SYLDA adapter. Horizons-3e had a liftoff mass of about 6441 kg and was operated from the 169° East position.

Eutelsat 7C10,594 kgGTOAT&T
Eutelsat
American telecommunications company AT&T and European satellite operator Eutelsat were the customers for Ariane flight VA248. The flight launched two geostationary satellites. AT&T commissioned the launch of its AT&T T-16 communications satellite, originally ordered by satellite television provider DirecTV as the next satellite in its existing fleet prior to the acquisition of the company in 2015. Eutelsat commissioned the launch of its Eutelsat 7C communications satellite, which provides 49 Ku band transponders for Sub-Saharan African digital television stations and capacity for several hundred channels in the region. The satellite also has optical communication capabilities for use by government services in Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia, with a steerable beam capable of reaching areas visible to the satellite in its geostationary orbit above Africa. Eutelsat 7C was manufactured by Maxar Technologies and its design, intended for a lifespan of 15 years, is based on the SSL 1300 satellite bus. Weighing 3,400 kg, the satellite uses electric propulsion for orbit maintenance, which reduces the satellite's launch mass. Eutelsat 7C arrived at the Guiana Space Center on 31 May. AT&T T-16 and Eutelsat 7C were the 601st and 602nd satellites launched by Arianespace.
