The launch of the Jason-2 ocean altimetry satellite scheduled for 15 June has been postponed.
This delay is due to weather-related problems integrating the spacecraft with the Delta II launch vehicle. Another reason for the delay is slippage of NASA's preceding GLAST launch using the same type of launcher, ground crews and set-up.
The launch of Jason-2 is now planned for no earlier than 19 June and the new date will be announced as soon as it has been confirmed.
