A launcher software test being conducted during the final, pre-launch checks for the upcoming Ariane 5 ECA launch was considered to be not normal with its results. Arianespace decided to stop the launch countdown on May 30th for the rocket, meaning the Skynet 5C and Turksat 3A payloads will remain Earth-bound for now at the Kourou space center. The company states their launch vehicle, as well as the two satellites, are in safe condition. As soon as a new date has been announced for the launch, we’ll be certain to inform all.
