TerreStar-1 Launch Slips as Insurers Request More Info

摘要

Insurance underwriters covering Ter-reStar Networks Inc.'s $200 million policy for the launch and first year of operations of the TerreStar-1 satellite have requested additional information on a similar satellite's in-orbit antenna problem before signing off on the upcoming launch, according to industry officials.rnReston, Va.-based TerreStar, whose mobile communications satellite has been at Europe's Guiana Space Center launch site in French Guiana awaiting a late-June launch, has agreed to delay the launch until the first half of July as a result.
