Last nigth the Astra 1N mission failed so we closed early the NewConceptsCafe. One Valve of the Ariane 5 was the problem. We will have to wait about 20 days to see the launch.
Here is the press release of ArianeSpace and at the end of it you can find a very interesting link about the mission:

Mission Update

Ariane 5’s launch is postponed approximately 20 days for a component change-out

July 2, 2011 – Ariane Flight VA203

Arianespace’s Ariane 5 mission with the ASTRA 1N and BSAT-3c/JCSAT-110R satellite will be delayed to allow a valve replacement for the launcher’s cryogenic core stage, which follows an anomaly that interrupted the final countdown yesterday in French Guiana.

To replace this valve – which did not function properly – Ariane 5 will be transferred from the Spaceport’s ELA-3 launch zone back to the Final Assembly Building.

Arianespace estimates that the valve’s replacement, along with the associated operations, will require approximately 20 days, with a new launch date to be announced shortly.

During the current operations, the Ariane 5 and its two satellite payloads are being maintained in fully safe conditions.

See the official Arianespace launch kit for further details on this mission.
