Anyone with a Ku-band big dish check out Telstar 5/17V, 12.0220 GHz --there should be a live feed there. Anyone watching? Florida Today has found it too--they should be relaying results.

Soyuz rocket launches for Globalstar. Update for 10:55 p.m. EST flatoday.com Monday, February 8, 1999 The next four spacecraft in the Globalstar telecommunications constellation are headed toward orbit tonight aboard a Starsem Soyuz rocket. Based on a video feed from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakstan, launch site, the rocket lifted off at 10:54 p.m. EST (0354 GMT). The flight marks the first Soyuz launch in Globalstar's satellite deployment campaign. The new satellites will join 8 others launched last year by a pair of Boeing Delta 2 rockets. A failed mission of Ukraine's Zenit 2 booster last September destroyed 12 Globalstar birds. The Globalstar system will provide worldwide cellular telephone and paging services through a fleet of 48 low-Earth orbiting satellites. Commercial service is scheduled to begin this September. Space Online has found a satellite feed of the launch on Telstar 5, Ku-band, 12.0220 GHz vertical. -Justin Ray Soyuz-Ikar/Globalstar launch timeline See our coverage of first Delta/Globalstar launch See our coverage of second Delta/Globalstar launch See our coverage of Zenit/Globalstar failure
