23-11-2009 Information on W7 launch for Media.

The launch of communication spacecraft Eutelsat W7 from Baikonur which was planned on today at 17.19 Moscow time, is postponed due to circumstances beyond Russian responsibility. According to the Russian Federal Space Agency, all documents were submitted to Kazcosmos approval in advance and corresponding prelaunch arrangements were undertaken. The areas where Proton-M stages were to collapse were repeatedly coordinated with Kazcosmos.

It is not the first case when a spacecraft lift-off is under the threat of frustration due to circumstances beyond Russian responsibility.
