[SatNews] Short, and to the point — With a change-out of equipment necessary on the VA 217 Ariane 5 ECA launcher, Arianespace has decided to postpone, by a few days, the ABS-2 — Athena Fidus launch that was originally scheduled for January 23rd.

A new date for the mission will be announced shortly.
