Double success for TEXUS
Astrium has carried out two successful TEXUS missions. TEXUS 45 lifted off with its scientific payload from Kiruna, Sweden, at 7.15 a.m. on 21 February, 2008, after an 11-day countdown. TEXUS 44 had already been successfully launched on 7 February 2008. Both missions were delayed by inclement weather conditions.
