Soyuz-2.1a Rocket's Launch From Vostochny Cosmodrome Might Be Rescheduled For 2019- Source

MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 09th September, 2018) The launch of the Soyuz-2.1a rocket with two Kanopus-V satellites from Russia's Vostochny Cosmodrome planned for December 26 might be postponed, if the manufacturer does not receive the satellite-borne equipment in time, a source in the rocket and space industry told Sputnik on Sunday.

"If the deliveries of satellite-borne equipment are delayed for more than a week, the timely assembly of the spacecrafts, the conduct of in-plant tests and [the spacecrafts'] timely delivery to the cosmodrome will become problematic, which threatens to postpone the launch until 2019. Such a scenario cannot be ruled out," the source said.
