Has any satellite launch ever gone to plan?

This is the second delay as far as I am aware. The next excuse will be the weather, no doubt.

Given the launch site location, probably "wrong sort of snow"!!

I'm just hoping the german beam is a tad stronger, so i can finally get it to lock. Its nearly there but not quite on my little setup :D

The info that has been released so far suggests that it will be good news. :)
