MOSCOW, May 14 - A Zenit rocket assembled at Ukraine's Pivdenmash plant in Dnipropetrovsk will launch Russia's hydro-meteorological satellite Elektro-L No 2 in October, a source in the rocket and space industry has told Interfax-AVN.

"A new launch date has been set for Elektro-L No 2. It will be put into orbit in October. The delay is caused by the unpreparedness of a number of satellite systems," the source said.
