From today's Aerospace Daily:
"An inertial platform malfunction may have caused failure of the
Ariane V booster on its first flight June 4 from Kourou, French Guiana.
"The European Space Agency said 'a large part of the equipment
contained in the vehicle equipment bay has been recovered and inspected"
and "has revealed the existence of a malfunction relating to the
inertial platforms in Ariane V operating mode.'"
This ties in with the AW&ST article, which stated that the INS communications
path that sends data to the flight control computer is different from the
path that sends INS data to telemetry.
