MAQSAT-H2 (Maquette Satellite - Haute 2) is a dummy payload and has a mass of 3.7 t and was to replace the commercial passenger of flight L521 only in the case of unavailability, as the overall goal is a successful and early qualification flight of the new heavy-lift Ariane-5ECA. MAQSAT-H2 was not launched as the XTAR-EUR payload was available.
