LUCKY 13 FOR SUNSAT?

NASA engineers will on Sunday make their 13th attempt to send South Africa’s first home grown satellite into space. The ill-fated Sunsat — to be blasted off aboard the Boeing-built Argos spacecraft — was designed at built at the University of Stellenbosch. The 12th scheduled launch was aborted after one of the engines of the Delta II rocket carrying the satellite failed to ignite.
