“Controllers had switched the blast-off from Thursday to Friday due to
high winds at the French Guiana launch site.
But technical problems have now forced a second postponement, and the
European Space Agency says the mission will not now get away until
early next week.
Rosetta is planned to reach the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in
2014.
When it arrives, the spacecraft will map the comet’s nucleus in
detail to find a suitable landing site.”
