A Japanese H-IIA Launch Vehicle No. 14 (H-IIA F14,  in 2024 configuration)  is to launch the Wideband InterNetworking engineering test and Demonstration Satellite "KIZUNA"  (WINDS) for JAXA, from the Yoshinobu Launch Complex at the Tanegashima Space Centre in  Japan.
The launch, originally scheduled for February 15, 2008, was  postponed by  Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and the Japan Aerospace Exploration  Agency as an incompatibility was  found, with the gas jet thrusters for the second stage attitude control,  during  propellant loading operations carried out  last night.
The H-2A will launch with two large solid rocket boosters and four smaller  motors.
A  new launch date will be announced when it is determined.
