From Arianespace
July 18, 2005
The launch of THAICOM 4 (IPSTAR) is delayed by an additional several days
Following the completion of additional checks on the Ariane 5 launcher
preparation facilities at the Spaceport in French Guiana, Arianespace
has decided to carry out a careful examination of the equipment involved.
As a result, a few additional days will be necessary to complete these
operations, and a new launch date will be announced during the week of
July 25.
The Ariane 5 Generic launcher and its THAICOM 4 (IPSTAR) payload remain
in a safe condition inside the Ariane 5 final assembly building at the
Spaceport.
THAICOM 4 (IPSTAR) will be the largest commercial telecommunications
satellite ever carried into geostationary transfer orbit (GTO), with a
mass at liftoff of more than 6,500 kg. (14,000 lb.).
