"On December 20, the Yuzhnoye State Design Office and the Dutch company ISILAUNCH signed a protocol on the completion of the integration of the Sich-2-30 spacecraft with the Space X Falcon 9 launch vehicle. This means that the satellite is fully ready for launch. At the same time, Space X announced the postponement of the launch of the Transponder-3 mission with the Ukrainian Sich-2-30 satellite from January 10 to 13, 2022," he wrote.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, Ukraine planned to launch the Sich 2-30 remote sensing spacecraft into orbit by the end of 2021.
