[Via Satellite 05-27-2014] The co-launch of the MEASAT 3B satellite and Optus Networks’ Optus 10 satellite, originally scheduled for June 6, 2014, has been postponed due to repairs requested for Optus 10. Both payloads are scheduled to launch on Arianespace’s Ariane 5 launch vehicle.

A new launch date will be announced as soon as possible.
