Interfax news agency reported that the first launch of a Russian space rocket from Guiana has been delayed. A modified Soyuz cargo ship has been expected to lift off from Europe's spaceport by the end of this year. Its closeness to the equator means that not as much fuel is needed to reach a geostationary orbit, as apposed to the amount needed to launch from Russia's Baikonur site in Kazakhstan.
