CubeSat launch delayed a month

The Kosmotras Launch Company in Russia has announced that a problem has been found with the launch booster intended for the June 28th launch of 13 Amateur Radio CubeSats.

They have decided to replace the booster with another one,
resulting in the launch being postponed until July 26th.

As well as the Amateur CubeSats, the other satellites being put into orbit on the same launch are the Italian UniSat-4, the Belarusian Belka satellite and the Russian Baumanets research satellite.
