April 3, 2009 - Baikonur Cosmodrome.
A ILS Proton rocket blasted off from Kazakhstan Friday, beginning a more than nine-hour mission to deposit a versatile European communications satellite into a high-altitude geosynchronous transfer orbit.
The 191-foot-tall rocket left the Baikonur Cosmodrome at 1624 GMT (12:24 p.m. EDT), turning northeast from the launch pad and tearing through the night sky on the power of six first stage RD-276 engines.
Eutelsat's W2A spacecraft is bolted atop the rocket, beginning a mission to deliver a variety of communications services to Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and parts of South America and India.

  • El fallo en el cohete Taurus XL no significa que la NASA se quede sin cohetes, tienen otros de confiabilidad comprobada como el Delta o el Atlas.

  • aunque estava leyendo que el proton es un cohete Ruso pero que tambien era lanzado en la Nasa. Entonces poroblemente la Nasa decidio ya no comprarlos para impulsar los suyos propios. Y estos no cesesariamente son baratos.

  • los cohetes Proton son solo de rusia, jamas han sido lanzados por la NASA, el Proton es utilizado por la empresa ILS para lanzar satelites comerciales.
