Russia schedules ArabSat launch for Feb. 28 

MOSCOW — Russia has set a date for the launch of a pan-Arab
communications satellite. 

The Russian Federal Space Agency said it would launch ArabSat 4A on
Feb. 28 using a Russian Proton-M launcher from the Baikonur Space
Center in Kazakhstan. 

The agency said engineers completed preparations for the ArabSat 4A
last week. In a statement, the agency said a Briz-M booster was
delivered to Baikonur. 

"Work to prepare the booster starts Feb. 7," the agency said. 
The Arab Satellite Communications Organization finances ArabSat4A. The
program, dominated by Egypt and Saudi Arabia, is used for
telecommunication and information.
