The first commercial flight of Ariane 6, originally scheduled for Monday 3 March, has been postponed to Thursday 6 March 13:24 (Kourou), 17:24 (Paris), 16:24 (UTC).
Due to additional operations required on an item of ground equipment interfacing with the launch vehicle, mission VA263 had to be postponed.
With operations now complete, a new launch attempt is scheduled for Thursday 6 March at the same time, i.e. 13:24 local time in Kourou, 17:24 (CET), 16:24 (UTC).
Ariane 6 and its payload, the CSO-3 satellite, continue to be maintained in stable and safe conditions.
