通用动力公司因怀疑运载火箭的半人马座上面级中的电子元件有问题而使宇宙神运载火箭停飞。由于在工厂测试中发现半人马座第二级导航系统中用的晶体管有问题,通用动力公司被迫推迟了商务和军用两次宇宙神发射。第一枚宇宙神2原计划在11月14日从卡纳维拉尔角空军站发射Eutelsat 2通信卫星。受影响的还有空军第一颗DSCS Ⅲ通信卫星。这两次发射将很可能推迟大约两个月。
General Dynamics suspended the Cosmic Gods rocket due to problems with the electronics in the upper stage of the Centaur in the launch vehicle. General Dynamics was forced to postpone the launch of two Cosmic Gods, commercial and military, due to problems found in factory tests of transistors used in the second-level Centaur navigation system. The first Cosmic God 2 was originally scheduled to launch the Eutelsat 2 communications satellite from the Cape Canaveral Air Force on November 14. The air force is also affected the first DSCS Ⅲ communications satellite. These two launches will most likely be delayed for about two months.
