Press Release

Flight 194 - ASTRA 3B & COMSATBw-2: launch delayed

Kourou, March 26, 2010

During final count-down operations for Flight 194 slated for today, an anomaly occurred in a launcher subsystem.

As a result, Arianespace has decided to replace this part, and thus to postpone the launch for a few days.

The launch vehicle and its ASTRA 3B and COMSATBw-2 satellite payloads have been placed in stand-by mode and maintained in fully safe conditions.
