Flight 193 - HELIOS 2B: Launch delayed

Evry, December 17, 2009

An anomaly occurred during final chronology for Flight 193-HELIOS 2B, thus halting the count-down.

Since the launch was to occur within a precise instant, a new attempt was not possible today.

The launch vehicle and its HELIOS 2B satellite payload are in stand-by mode and maintained in fully safe conditions.

A new date for the mission will be announced as soon as possible.
