I think the Spacecraft Interfaces section (starting page 84) is the bit that might interest HN readers. It describes (to potential customers) the dimensions of the payload bay, electrical and comms interfaces available, conditions the payload must be able to tolerate (vibration, temperature etc).

I will definitely start to read this out loud to my 5 year old. He will love it. Thanks for sharing your finding.

Is there any sign of political pressure in Europe around its space programme? Or is it going to be stuck in Ariane space for another generation?

About the cover picture: at that altitude, shouldn't the plume look completelu different? Com to think of it, shouldn't the first stage and srbs be long gone?

Docs like this make playing space engineer so much more fun.
