German satellite launch postponed
Posted: Mon, Jul 2, 2007, 8:20 AM ET (1220 GMT)
The launch of a German radar imaging satellite was delayed 24 hours Sunday because of poor weather. The Kosmos-3M rocket was scheduled to lift off Sunday evening from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in northern Russia and place the SAR-Lupe 2 satellite into low Earth orbit. However, high upper-level winds scrubbed the launch, which has been rescheduled for Monday evening. The spacecraft is the second in a series of five small radar imaging satellites for the German military. The first SAR-Lupe satellite, built by German company OHB-System, was launched late last year.
