Measat Launch

I'm a little late on posting this, but today at around 3PM PST the Boeing built Measat satellite will be launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome. The satellite will provide communications to a large swath of the asian continent. The launch will be televised via the entarwebs today. Check the countdown clock at the bottom of the page for the link to the webcast. They've got video links for both 56k and broadband. Check it out if you're feeling like it. I didn't work this project, but I have been within touching distance of this sucker and it's gonna be in space soon. Too cool!

Update: Well it's about 15 minutes after launch and all is well at this point. Here's to continued success on this launch. Go Proton! Go Breeze-M! Go Measat-3! Go Boeing!
