<<They should be getting close to setting a launch time. You have one yet? Looks like some of our thunder will be stolen by Delta III - launch slid to the 24th also>>

I think August 24 is optimistic, so I figure first week in September is more likely. I have seen absolutely no word out of G* as to an exact date. As you are aware, they are masters of putting a spin on the launch date slide. As long as 3 Zenits go up in 98, slide away!

<<How much information do you see coming out before the launch? This commercial stuff is still new to Zenit folk and at Baikonur no less. How is the internet connectivity at the cosmodrome? (gg)>>

As long as they have power, I believe their 2400 baud modems are capable of transmitting. Seriously, I have no idea if we will get a feed. It would be a two hop deal to get us a sat feed. I would love to see it if they can do it, but I doubt it! There were European feeds for the Delta launches, so I think they could arrange it, but I am not holding my breath.
