Launch of Egyptian telecommnications satellite delayed
The launch of Egypt’s first-ever telecommunications satellite, TIBA- 1 has been postponed for technical reasons, said the Middle East New Agency.
TIBA-1 was supposed to be launched yesterday Friday from Kourou on an Ariane 5. It has an electric power capability of higher than 9 kW.
Designed to remain in service in orbit for more than 15 years, TIBA-1 will be Egypt's first push into satellite-based internet services.
