From The Space Library
The ESA announced that it planned to launch one of its INTELSAT V communications satellites on Europe's Ariane booster. The first four of this series of seven would be launched from mid-1979 to late 1980 on U.S. Atlas Centaurs; ESA's board opted for a 1981 Ariane launch of its sixth INTELSAT V and for Shuttle launches for the other two.
