The launch experiment of the M-V Launch Vehicle No. 6 (M-V-6) with the
23rd scientific satellite (ASTRO-EII) onboard has been rescheduled due
to the adverse weather condition. The new launch day will be no earlier
than July 8, 2005 (Japan Standard Time, JST) as there is no sign of
weather recovery on July 7.
The launch experiment was originally scheduled at 12:30 p.m. on July 6,
2005 (JST) from the Uchinoura Space Center.

The new launch experiment date will be announced as soon as it is
determined.
