"Flight VS23: Soyuz – COSMO-SkyMed SG / CHEOPS / OPS-SAT / EyeSat / ANGELS: Launch delay

During final countdown operations for Flight VS23, the Soyuz launcher’s automated sequence was interrupted at 1 hour 25 minutes before liftoff.

As a result, the launch of the COSMO-SkyMed Second Generation, CHEOPS, OPS-SAT, EyeSat, ANGELS satellites – originally scheduled for December 17 – has been postponed.

The Soyuz launcher and its satellite payloads were placed in a fully safe standby mode.

The new target launch date will be announced as soon as possible."

Following launch on 18 December 2019, the CHEOPS spacecraft was pointed in sequence to different directions in the sky as part of the Launch and Early Orbit Phase (LEOP) activities. The test successfully demonstrated the in-orbit performance of the attitude control system and the thermal response of the spacecraft.
