Soyuz-2.1a Rocket's Launch Might Be Rescheduled for 2019

"If the deliveries of satellite-borne equipment are delayed for more than a week, the timely assembly of the spacecrafts, the conduct of in-plant tests and [the spacecrafts'] timely delivery to the cosmodrome will become problematic, which threatens to postpone the launch until 2019. Such a scenario cannot be ruled out," the source said.

In June, the Russian Defense Ministry announced a successful launch of the Soyuz-2.1b carrier rocket from the Plesetsk space center on Sunday to orbit a Glonass-M satellite.

Earlier, Reshetnev Information Satellite Systems satellite producer reported that the signal interface control document for GLONASS would be updated in 2018.
