The year-end launch of RazakSAT, Malaysia's second low-orbit microsatellite, from Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands, has been postponed to next year.
The RazakSAT launch has been rescheduled as the United States Space Exploration Technology (SpaceX), the company commissioned by the Malaysian government to send the satellite into space, was unable to fix a suitable slot for the year-end launch.
The RM127 million RazakSAT capable of capturing aerial images of the earth at 2.5-metre resolution or higher, has been slotted for launch in the first quarter of 2008 using the company's Falcon 1 rocket from the Marshall Islands in the Pacific Ocean.
