The Ariane 5 rocket, carrying the world's biggest telecommunications satellite, has blasted off from French Guyana after being delayed three times – following technical hitches and unfavourable weather conditions. The six-tonne Anik F2 satellite will provide Internet access, digital services and pictures to North America for the next 15 years. The total cost of the Anik F2 project was estimated at $600 million. It is expected to commence transmissions in October. | ||
