[amsat-bb] Vega Launch Postponed

[JoAnne Maenpaa]

Well folks, gotta find something else to watch or go to bed on time ... the
launch this evening is postponed according to an ESA Press Release:

http://www.esa.int/For_Media/Press_Releases/VV06_launch_postponed

N° 45–2015: VV06 launch postponed
1 December 2015

During the final step of VV06 launch campaign, a technical issue on the Vega
launch vehicle required additional analysis. The launch initially scheduled
for December 2, 2015 is postponed.

ESA’s LISA Pathfinder spacecraft is in stable and safe conditions and the
launcher teams are currently working on this technical issue.

A review of the results will take place tomorrow, leading to a decision for
a possible launch on December 3.
