A component malfunction was detected in the LV control system during on–pad tests. The faulty component will be duly replaced by a spare.
Does anyone have an idea if this is the same problem that led to the postponement of the rockot with the GOCE launch?

If they move the launch only 1-2 day(s) right, it's looks like something electrical in LV, not Breeze. They need more than one day to deal with Breeze' issue. But official statement was unclear: "...the failure occurred in one of the launcher`s control system units. Back-up unit is to replace the failed one..."

Detailed information about Nimiq 4 launch from Khrunichev: http://coopi.khrunichev.ru/eng/pl_pusk.htm
So another 5-burn Breeze-M mission profile
... I am still waiting for a new 3-burn mission profile after the 5-month stand-by period apparently devoted to secure it.

This received internally this am:
Nimiq 4 is on schedule for launch today at 5:48 p.m. EDT. The anomalous avionics unit on the launch vehicle has been replaced and successfully tested.
The attached Mission Overview outlines what we can expect from liftoff to spacecraft separation which will occur approximately 9 hours after launch.

(good stuff...)
Andrey, I love the coopi.khrunichev.ru site but the best bit is the "NewsPosting', e.g.
http://coopi.khrunichev.ru/2008/inm4f3/inm_e03.htmThe way it's presented implies it's available in real time too, but there doesn't ever seem to be a link on the current launch, only the old archived ones - am I missing something?
best wishes, Jonathan

Jonathan, they are publishing these reports after liftoff with little delays
here. But you can receive them by email without delays after successful registration
here.
