"Europe will have a second go at launching its new super rocket on Wednesday. The Ariane 5-ESCA is capable of lifting 10 tonnes of payload towards geostationary orbit. The vehicle's maiden flight - with two satellites on board - was aborted on 28 November just 13 seconds before it was due to lift clear of the launch pad at Kourou in French Guiana. A technical problem associated with the rocket's main Vulcain 2 engine was responsible." http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/2551517.stm
