Europe's "super-rocket", the Ariane 5-ECA, will be back in action in January 2005, says its operator Arianespace.

The launch will be the vehicle's first since its maiden flight ended in an explosive failure in December 2002.

The qualification flight was originally scheduled for November, but was then put back after a review highlighted a number of outstanding technical issues.
