The launch of Metop was scrubbed today apparently due to some problems encountered while fuelling the Soyuz. At the moment everyone seems to get ready for another launch attempt tomorrow. Launch would take place like today at 16:28:10 UTC (18-JUL-06). But apparently the actual decision about whether to proceed with the launch will be taken at a conference at 7:00 UTC tomorrow (18-JUL-06). Here is the new TLE set for Metop (valid from 17:37 UTC, 18-JUL-06). Metop Sep 1 99999U 06099A 06199.73395324 .00000028 00000-0 26562-4 0 1 2 99999 98.7336 258.5770 0024535 156.6981 131.5838 14.21428545 1 Let's hope they can fix the problem in time for tomorrows attempt!
