Proton-K rocket puts Russian telecom satellite into orbit
MOSCOW, June 25 (Itar-Tass) -- The Russian Express AM 3
latest-generation telecommunication satellite was put into the planned
orbit on Saturday.
The satellite launched with the heavy Proton K booster from Baikonur at
23:41 Moscow time on Friday came into the target orbit at 06:15 Moscow
time, a Roskosmos source told Itar-Tass.
There is stable communication with the satellite. Its onboard systems
are working as normal, the source said.
The Express AM 3 is designed to provide such services as digital
television and radio broadcasting, telephone and video communication,
data transmission, access to the Internet and creation of
VSAT-technology communication networks.
It is the fifth satellite of the Russian Express AM spacecraft series.
The Krasnoyarsk-based Reshetnev scientific and production centre
developed the satellite together with the French Alcatel Space company
for the Russian Space Communication corporation.
