Boeing delays Delta 3 launch of Orion 3 satellite


Boeing News Release

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. - Boeing has delayed the launch of a Delta 3 rocket to assess any potential implications from the U.S. Air Force launch of a Titan 4 rocket earlier today (April 30).

The Delta 3 had been scheduled to make a launch attempt from Cape Canaveral Air Station, Fla., on Sunday, but Boeing officials have put off the launch until at least Tuesday, May 4. The launch window for the Orion 3 satellite built by Hughes Space and Communications opens at 8:56 p.m. and closes at 10:04 p.m. EDT.

Loral Space & Communications will own and operate the satellite, which will expand the Loral satellite service fleet by providing telecommunications for the entire Asia-Pacific region.
