EuropaSat / Hellas Sat 3 is a dual-operator condominium satellite built by Thales Alenia Space and stationed at 39° East. Its Inmarsat S EAN payload introduced the world's first integrated satellite and air-to-ground inflight connectivity service across European Union airspace; the Hellas Sat 3 payload provides Ku- and Ka-band broadcasting and telecommunications services over Europe, the Middle East, and southern Africa.

The flight was Ariane 5's 80th consecutive success, a streak unbroken since 2003.
