OFFICIALS have delayed next month's scheduled launch of a rocket carrying a space telescope and a spacecraft to gather information about the Big Bang cosmic explosion.
Arianespace and the European Space Agency said they had agreed on the delay to allow further fine-tuning following recent software updates.

The launch from the Spaceport in Kourou in French Guiana had been scheduled for April 16.
