Brazil, China to Postpone Joint Satellite Launching to 2011

Brazil and China will postpone their fourth joint satellite launching from 2010 to mid-2011, a Brazilian official said.

The two parties held a critical design review meeting a few days ago and decided to reschedule the date for launching the satellite CBERS-3, said Thyrso Villela, director of satellites, applications and development of the Brazilian Space Agency (AEB). Brazil and China established in 1988 a joint committee for the construction, launching and operation of satellites under the China-Brazil Earth Resources Satellite (CBERS) Programme.
