Like the flights into space of other Ariane missiles, transport compartments - used to protect 'passengers' (satellites) when passing through the atmosphere - often with logos and flags and icons representing customers who rent satellite launch services. This carrier compartment will be split in half and released satellite into outer space after about 3 minutes from the moment Ariane 5 missiles leave the launch pad.

In the upcoming VINASAT-2 launch, both of these satellites are produced by Lockheed Martin according to its A2100 design. This is also the 100th and 101st commercial telecommunications satellites produced by Lockheed Martin.

Lockheed Martin's first commercial observation satellite was launched in December 1975, and since then its satellites have served about 1,000 hours of satellite service to customers around the world. To date, Arianespace has launched 41 satellites produced by Lockheed Martin, with the latest launch being the BSAT-3c / JCSAT-110R satellite, launched by the Ariane 5 missile in August last year.
