"Genesis II Launch Moved to Late June<br /><br /><br />May 17, 2007 - 1:04 p.m. PDT<br /><br /><br />Statement from Robert T. Bigelow on the Second Bigelow Aerospace Pathfinder Mission<br /><br />Las Vegas, NV 05/17/07 – Bigelow Aerospace has been informed by its launch provider ISC Kosmotras (“Kosmotrasâ€) that additional testing of the Dnepr rocket and its ground equipment is being required by Russian authorities.<br /><br />Due to last year’s Dnepr failure, these new and additional tests have been requested to identify any remaining issues with the system and enhance the overall chances of achieving our primary objective of mission success. Unfortunately, these procedures will create an additional four week delay. We now expect the launch of Genesis II to occur in late June.<br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.
