Don't understand. Has the launch gone back?

No news of this launch found so far so it has probably been scrubbed if indeed they intended to launch Lybid 1 at all this year.

Lybid 1 launch has a new launch date ?

It is highly unlikely that this new launch date will happen to my knowledge the launch has been cancelled several times due to conflicting interests,
But recent events may prove that the launch may now be possible

In 2011/2014/2017/2020 the launch was postponed so after several years in storage Lybid-1 is probably not in a fit state for launch ATM & may need a thorough service,

Maybe a launch in mid 2020 is more realistic.

If the latest launch date ever existed or was just wishful thinking by somebody :eek:
Lybid-1 Remains in Russian storage until further notice.

Lybid I Update:-

Verdict reached in Ukrainian satellite dispute


The United Nations Arbitration Court has ruled in favour of Maxar Technology in a dispute with the Ukrainian government.
Mediasat reports that the dispute revolved round a contract signed in 2000 between Maxar’s predecessor MDA Corporation and the National Space Agency of Ukraine involving the construction and launch of Lybid-1, Ukraine’s first geostationary satellite.
It adds that the court rejected Ukraine’s claims in full and ruled that Maxar’s legal fees and expenses should be paid in full.
The initial contract was worth around $254 million and provided for the construction and launch of the satellite, as well as the provision of ground-based infrastructure. However, work was suspended in 2014 due to political instability in Ukraine and three years later MDA completely withdrew from the project following the disappearance of a large sum of money.
Although MDA/Maxar was paid for the production of the satellite and it was delivered, Ukraine then lost access to it following the conflict in the east of the country.

This is an interesting item - it seems to indicate the Lybid project is dead.


I wonder if Lybid1 will be repurposed as the new 4W bird?
