Arianespace Delays Launch Of Spaceway 2, Telkom 2

Arianespace pushed back the launch of a pair of satellites due to an unspecified technical problem with the Telkom 2 spacecraft, Arianespace announced June 6.

The launch of the Spaceway 2 and Telkom 2 had been scheduled for the night of June 24. Arianespace has not set a new launch date for these two satellites and this development has resulted in a reordering of Arianespace’s mission scheduling.

The next scheduled Arianespace mission is the launch of IPStar for Thailand’s Shinsat, scheduled for the night of July 7.
