Launch of Argentine, Brazilian satellites postponed
The launch of an Argentine earth observation satellite (SAOCOM 1A) and a Brazilian cubesat satellite (ITASAT 1) has been postponed by at least one day.
Originally scheduled for October 6, the delay was requested by Elon Musk's SpaceX, whose Falcon 9 rocket will be responsible for putting both satellites into orbit.
In a Twitter post, SpaceX said that rocket and payload were "healthy" but that additional time would be necessary "to complete pre-flight vehicle checkouts."
Argentina's space agency Conae said in a short statement that the October 11 date is also being considered for launch.
SAOCOM 1A was designed for weather and agriculture monitoring purposes. Developed by Conae in partnership with the Italian space agency (ASI) and in collaboration with private and public entities, the satellite will inaugurate the SAOCOM observation fleet.
Meanwhile, ITASAT 1 is a Brazilian 6U cubesat 9 (microsatellite) built by Brazil's Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronáutica (ITA) in partnership with national space agency AEB and the national institute for space research INPE.
ITASAT-1 is a scientific experimental satellite with five main functions (payloads) and a one-year service life.
