[amsat-bb] Es'hail-2 re-scheduled for launch in Q3/2017

Very sorry to see this fantastic new satellite getting delayed!
I consider it as a major boost to use of high frequencies by
satellite-radio amateurs (beyond the fact that it is a HEO sat).
Well, it IS still a great opportunity to look forward to!!
