Russian ambassador in Angola said that the launch of #Angosat2 will be postponed to September 2022 because #Airbus denied to deliver small but important details which are a part of the deployment system. According to him, the contract for it was signed before the sanctions. Everything has already been prepared in order to fulfill our obligations in time. But, unfortunately, our Western partners, apparently jealous of our success in the space industry, began to create obstacles for us,” said the very upset ambassador. https://ria.ru/20220503/sputnik-1786619684.html
