From Space News:

Iridium Launch Halted by Humidity at Plant
High humidity in a Chinese processing facility forced the postponement of an
Iridium launch slated for mid-March aboard a Chinese Long March rocket.

The two Iridium satellites exposed to the high humidity have been shipped back
to Motorola's factory in Chandler, Ariz., for recertification testing. No new
launch date has been scheduled. The satellites are slated to fill any gaps that
develop in the Iridium constellation.
