“Due to further operations needed on a ground means, the launch initially planned on February 26 from Kourou, French Guiana, is postponed,” in a bare-minimum statement issued on February 21st.
“The new launch date will be announced following the completion of these operations,” the launch company added for its Flight VA263.
