Bad weather delays Sky Muster II launch

Australia’s second broadband satellite was due to launch this morning at 5.00 am, as previously reported by Critical Comms.

However, the launch of the Sky Muster II was delayed due to weather conditions, particularly the high altitude wind direction.

The launch of the satellite will be rescheduled to take place in the next 48 hours.
