Flight 193 is a commercial mission for Ariane 5. Launcher 532, the 45^th production phase ARIANE 5, is the twenty-third of the 30 PA contract launchers, for which ASTRIUM is production prime contractor, the sixth in the A5GS series - and the final derivative of the Ariane A5 Generic version - also incorporating a number of more recent improvements designed for the A5EC/A and A5ES versions (mainly the EAPs, a composite structure VEB and an EPS with an additional 300 kg propellant). This launcher is the twenty-fourth complete vehicle delivered to Arianespace, integrated and inspected under ASTRIUM responsibility in the Launcher Integration Building (BIL).

In a single-payload configuration under a medium pattern fairing, the launcher is carrying the observation satellite Helios 2B, with a payload (satellite and carriage structures) total mass at lift-off of approximately 5,954 kg.
