[SatNews] Within the scope of its preparations for the VV04 mission, the European Space Agency (ESA), in conjunction with French space agency CNES, has decided to carry out additional flight trajectory analyses for the scheduled Vega launch of IXV.

The launch, originally scheduled for November 18, 2014, has therefore been postponed to allow the time needed to complete these analyses. A new launch date will be announced as soon as possible.

The timetable for the launches that will follow VV04 will not change.
