Sentinel-1B launch delayed due to anomaly

Posted on April 24, 2016 by Daniel

Following an anomaly observed during the countdown for the launch of Soyuz flight VS14 carrying Sentinel-1B, the countdown was halted.

The launch vehicle and satellites have been switched into a completely safe standby mode. The new launch date will be communicated after the anomaly has been analysed.
