News: Galileo IOV - Launch Delayed

pocketgpsworld.com
News has just come in that today's scheduled launch of the first two Galileo IOV (In-Orbit Validation) vehicles has been delayed.

The launch was to take place at 10:34 GMT today and everything had appeared to be been going to plan. The Soyuz ST-B launch vehicle moved to the pad in French Guyana on 14th October with the launch fairing containing the two Galileo IOV's placed on top later the same day.

The Soyuz passed a Launcher Readiness Review on 18th October and fuelling went ahead as planned earlier this morning. However, the launch countdown has now been stopped with ESA giving no further information other than "a new launch date will be announced later today".

We'll be following developments closely and will keep you posted as more information is made available.
