List of Ariane launches
Rockets from the Ariane rocket family have conducted a total of 260 missions since 1979, achieving 248 successful launches, which demonstrates a high reliability rate. The now-decommissioned Ariane 5 model maintained an unbroken streak of 82 successful flights from April 2003 until December 2017. However, in January 2018, during flight VA-241, a failure occurred that caused two satellites to be placed into improper orbits. This anomaly led to a shortened operational lifespan for the satellites, as extra fuel was required to correct their trajectories.
