Arianespace and the European Space Agency were forced to postpone the launch of Soyuz flight VS09, which would have carried Europe’s Galileo navigation satellites into medium-Earth orbit, due to unfavourable weather conditions over the Guiana Space Centre.
The next launch attempt is for the 22nd August at 12:27 p.m GMT (2:27 p.m CEST and 8:27 a.m EDT)
