Less than 10 hours to the historic launch of GIOVE-A

Launch updates

As depicted by the countdown on the right hand side of this blog, there are now just 9 hours to the launch of the Galileo Project's GIOVE-A satellite.

The European Space Agency (ESA) are providing live coverage of the event via satellite link from Baikonur in the early hours of tomorrow morning. The ESA are hosting a European viewing and Surrey Satellite Technology are hosting the European launch press conference on site at the University of Surrey.

This blog aims to keep readers updated with news as the day progresses. Key events are the launch itself, scheduled for 5:19 am and the switch over from Starsem launch control to SSTL ground control on site at 9:01.

The ESA Television website provides details of live video for broadcasters and details of post-event material.
