Sea Launch AG has successfully completed its 5th Land Launch mission with the successful launch of the Intelsat 18 communications satellite from the Baikonur Cosmodrome launch complex in Kazakhstan. Lift-off of the rocket occurred at 03:00 ALMT (21:00 UTC/GMT on October 5th), with spacecraft separation at 09:34 ALMT (03:34 UTC/GMT).
Following closely the successful mission performed for Eutelsat S.A just twelve days previously from the Odyssey Launch Platform, this launch marks Sea Launch's second mission since returning to launch operations following re-organization in late 2010.
