(This story by Kudzai Chimhangwa originally appeared on Global Voices on March 18, 2019)
At 4:14 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) on May 11, 2018, Bangabandhu-1, Bangladesh’s first geostationary communications satellite, was launched into space from Cape Canaveral, Florida in the United States. It marked a key milestone for the country and was celebrated throughout Bangladesh.
Bangabandhu-1, named after the nickname of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, founding father of Bangladesh, was launched into its orbital slot on 119.1 degrees east longitude. The satellite's mission is expected to last at least 15 years.
The launch was originally planned for May 10 and postponed to take place the following day after an error was found just a minute before launch. A delegation of Bangladeshi officials, led by State Minister for Telecommunications and Post, Tarana Halim, arrived in Florida on Tuesday to witness the successful launch.

Based on the text, the launching should have been on May 10. The correct reason why it was delayed is ...
The State Minister for Telecommunications and Post couldn’t attend the launching.
The country was celebrating its independence day at the same time.
The delegation from Bangladeshi officials hadn’t arrived yet.
They hadn’t decided the name and orbit for the new satellite.
They found an error the last minute before it was launched.
