The Hermes operations were designed to minimize mission costs and length while assuring a coherent and complete preparation of the Hermes space vehicle, and then of the Ariane 5/Hermes combination. They were foreseen as not greatly differing from the Ariane 5/automatic payload operations. The Hermes space vehicle was designed as a recoverable vehicle launched as a passenger of the Ariane 5 launcher in order to accomplish a certain number of missions of which two were considered as tailored for the design, others requiring certain adaptations.
