Targeted for 09 December 2010, Thursday launch of Phantom X MUP-1 (Extender 10) is now deliberating by ANGKASA for delay. On 24 November 2010, Wednesday, Phantom X's Gravitation Detected Booster (GDB) had an Ignition & Burning Test at Launch Complex 7.
But during the test, the Ignition Burn Pod (IBP) of the GDB booster had detected an error. The IBP broke off during the test in the evening. Engineer had to bring it back to SVAC for service. The service/repair of the booster's IBP will took almost a week or less.
ANGKASA Malaysia (organization)'s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Cameron Tan, said that the new launch opportunity will be opened on 13 December 2010, Monday, if the problem had not been solved. But SVAC engineer will try the best to complete it faster to prevent any delay.
