Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) successfully launched the H-IIA Launch Vehicle No. 31 (H-IIA F31) with the geostationary meteorological satellite "Himawari-9" on board at 3:20 p.m. on November 2, 2016 (JST) from the Tanegashima Space Center. The launch vehicle flew as planned, and at approximately 27 minutes and 51 seconds after liftoff, the separation of Himawari-9 was confirmed.
At the time of the launch, the weather was fine, a wind speed was 6.1 meters/second from the north-east and the temperature was 21.3 degrees Celsius.

Officials report the Ariane 5 rocket has reached a nominal transfer orbit to begin the three-hour coast before the Aestus engine is reignited.

Aestus engine shutdown. Now soaring over Europe, the upper stage engine has switched off on time after the first of two firings needed to inject the Galileo navigation satellites into a circular orbit more than 14,000 miles (about 23,000 kilometers) above Earth at an inclination of 54.57 degrees.
The engine will reignite at 1634 GMT (11:34 a.m. EST) for more than six minutes, then the upper stage will deploy the Galileo payloads in pairs of two.
