Adiado o lançamento de Herschel e Planck
Ariane 5
Devido a uma anomalia descoberta durante testes a uma unidade de assemblagem idêntica à do lançador Ariane 5, a Arianespace decidiu realizar verificações adicionais que irão exigir vários dias de trabalho.
A nova data de lançamento será anunciada em breve.
Os dois satélites estão em perfeitas condições, no local de lançamento em Kourou, na Guiana Francesa.
