New launch date for GIOVE-A satellite confirmed

Launch updates

The new launch date for the GIOVE-A satellite has been confirmed as the 28th December, launch time 05:19 UK time.

The original Boxing day launch date was postponed because of an anomaly detected in the ground station network during initial preparations for launch. The necessary re-configuration and validation are currently predicted to lead to a delay of at least two days for this launch, originally scheduled to take place on 26 December.
