Arianespace has decided to carry out supplementary checks on the engine powering the ESC-A cryogenic upper-stage in order to guarantee the quality of the Ariane 5 ECA launcher to be used on Flight VA 204.
These operations will take a few days, after which the launch date of Flight VA 204 will be announced.
