What's happening with the Sat Launch?

[goaliebob99]

How come they didnt use Sea Launch like they did last time.

Cauz sealauch is in the sea with directv11 right now for a planned monday launch that you can see here!

Goodbye eastern arc?

 

[Smith P.]

Cross your fingers now goalie !

 

[skyviewmark]

I wonder what dish does from here! Things were looking sooo good up untill later on tonight

If you think they have kept quiet about HD plans before this, rest assured they are really going to have a problem stating their plans now

Vivat Western Arc !

yup, and nobody is going to care. The business world is tough. people dont want excuses, they want results.

We can always hope for the best.

Maybe they can fix it.

 

[darrencp22]

A Russian State Commission has begun the process of determining the reasons for the anomaly.

Yeah good luck on that one.

Nay, if FROB created, then say AMEN to the sat.

I love the language.. "Failed to meet planned orbit." Aka we screwed up big time. Screwed their customer and their customer.

 

[DishSubLA]

I don't think Charlie had a plan B.. All his marbles were on AMC14

Oh, yes. There is a plan B, but I'm sure it is way more costly than Charlie wants. They may just wait. HD has not hit the masses yet.

 

[skyviewmark]

No fixing this Sat. Anomoly is never a good word.. When The Shuttle blew up they called that an anomoly.. . IT is over for AMC-14.

Yes, anomaly definitely seems to be a code word for "Brown Trousers Time".

What happened to Charper.. I need some of that Bourbon

 

[darrencp22]

Oh, yes. There is a plan B, but I'm sure it is way more costly than Charlie wants. They may just wait. HD has not hit the masses yet.

Can they just redeploy the next launch for 61.5? Seriously, this may be a LONG wait.

 

[crimpshrine]

What a bad night for sure...

 

[goaliebob99]

Actually HD has hit the masses and has allready out growed the number of SDTV sets!

I knew I should picked up a bottle of Beam today...Maybe it could be killing a little bit of this pain right now...

 

[cforrest]

Stage 2 seems to be a problem for the Proton Briz-M:

KHRUNICHEV STATE RESEARCH AND PRODUCTION SPACE CENTRE

Another stage 2 failure, only 6 months later now with AMC-14! This time stage 2 of the upper burn.

Nope. E11 is designed for CONUS coverage at 110 as a replacement for E8.
