Russia, June 9th 2017 : Russia has successfully launched into space a Proton-M carrier rocket carrying a U.S. EchoStar 21 satellite from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, the Russian state space corporation Roscosmos said Thursday.<\/p>\n
“All the stages of the carrier rocket flight passed in normal mode,” the space agency said in a statement.<\/p>\n
The Proton family launch vehicles have been in operation since 1965 and they currently have a capacity to carry a payload of about 22.8 tons.<\/p>\n
The launches of Protons were suspended last year after a series of failures.
\nEchoStar 21, under commercial operation by the EchoStar Corporation based in Colorado, the United States, is a state-of-the-art S-band satellite designed to provide mobile connectivity throughout Europe.<\/p>\n
EchoStar subsidiary EchoStar Mobile Limited, an EU-wide licensee for an integrated mobile satellite service network with a complementary ground component, will utilize a portion of the capacity on EchoStar 21 to provision its next-generation, all IP-enabled mobile communications network, Roscosmos said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
