Launch of Glonass-M navigation satellites postponed over reliability
Moscow Interfax in Russian 1316 GMT 21 Sep 09
Baykonur, 21 September: The launch of the Proton-M rocket from Baykonur launch facility with block DM-2 upper stage and three Glonass-M [satellite navigation] space apparatus has been postponed.
"The launch of Proton-M with three Glonass-M satellites has been postponed for an unspecified period," a source at the space facility told Interfax on Monday [21 September].
According to the source's information, the reason for the postponement of the launch was a fault "in one of the new satellites now in space".
"These faults caused doubts about the reliability of the three space apparatus that were being prepared for the launch as they have been assembled from the same batch of components," he explained.
According to the source's information, at least two to three weeks will be required to check the quality of the components," he explained. "This means that the launch under the GLONASS programme could be carried out not before the end of October," he said.
