[amsat-bb] Es’hail 2

Hi Amsat

Whilst looking for some work related information  I noticed that the Es’hail 2 satellite was now added to the SpaceX lunch manifest for an August 2018 launch.

The last news that I had heard was the satellite was ready for shipment to the launch site. Is anybody able to confirm if this launch date is correct?

Thanks
