The first French satellite A-1 named "Asterix" has been launched by a "Diamant" rocket on the 26th of November 1965 at 15h47 UT

It has been put in orbit with a perigee of 527 km and apogee of 1697 km, and with an equatorial inclination of 34,3°

a runway 27/09 of 2700m with a VOR (freq 112,00 Mhz) can be used

tested with Orbiter 2006 sp1
