Minus-3 hours. The Ariane 5 rocket's first stage, known by the French acronym EPC, is currently being filled with liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen. The second stage, or ESC-A, is also receiving the same mix of liquid propellants. The first stage Vulcain 2 engine and the upper stage HM7B engine both consume the super-cold fuel.
The cryogenic propellant will be gradually pumped inside the rocket to maintain proper levels as the fuel evaporates over the rest of the countdown.
The Ariane 5's supply of cryogenic liquid helium, used to pressurize the rocket's propellant tanks, was loaded aboard the launcher Monday.
The weather is predicted to favorable for launch at 2030 GMT (4:30 p.m. EDT).

00:32 Liftoff
Liftoff of an Ariane 5 rocket carrying Sky Muster 2 and GSAT 18, communications satellites destined to better connect remote Australians and Indians.
01:03 - SUCCESS!!!!!!!!
India's GSAT 18 communications satellite has deployed from the Ariane 5 rocket.
Built by the ISRO Satellite Center in Bangalore, the 7,504-pound satellite will enter service in geostationary orbit at 74 degrees east longitude to support television, voice and data services over India and neighboring regions.
00:56 Second stage cutoff
Plus+25 minutes, 20 seconds. The rocket's second stage shut down as scheduled. The upper stage is now maneuvering into the correct orientation for deployment of Sky Muster 2.
00:55
Plus+24 minutes. The rocket is surpassing a speed of 20,500 mph. Shutdown of the upper stage is about a minute-and-a-half from now. A tracking station in Malindi, Kenya, is now in contact with Ariane 5.
00:51
Plus+21 minutes. The upper stage will shut down at Plus+25 minutes, 17 seconds, after reaching a target orbit with a low point of 155 miles, a high point of 22,236 miles, and an inclination of 6 degrees. The rocket is now being tracked by a ground station in Libreville, Gabon.

well USA is that country which never shares its tech. because it wants to be top of the world and see its topping the world .
the real achievement is when someone asks for your help for something ie. GPS in 1999 and then when denied for help they start from scratch and build the quality which is better than their tech. n quality.
everytime success thats our isro and that defines india
if you see many things USA is showing off is having indians contributions specially the softwares which runs any tech or system// proud of indians and the intelligent mind we have,we export softwares not terrorist
