ARIANESPACE: launch of SPAINSAT – HOT BIRD™ 7A postponed to Thursday, March 9, 2006
Following the postponement of the launch slated for Friday, February 24, 2006, Alcatel Alenia Space has performed a complete verification of the telemetry signal system of Eutelsat's HOT BIRDTM 7A satellite. As a result the satellite was confirmed to be in perfect health and ready for launch.
Furthermore, on Saturday, February 25, the disconnection of a cryogenic purging umbilical line between the launch table mast and the launch vehicle led Arianespace to roll back the launch vehicle to the Final Assembly Building for the change of the connector.
The launch is now scheduled during the night of Thursday, March 9, 2006.
