AsiaSat sign up Sea Launch as SpaceX backup option
November 28th, 2012 by Chris Bergin

Asia Satellite Telecommunications have signed up Sea Launch to provide the backup option of launching “a future AsiaSat satellite” on their Zenit 3SL. Currently, both AsiaSat 6 and 8 are manifested to ride on SpaceX’s Falcon 9 in 2014, meaning the arrangement with Sea Launch will allow for on-time delivery in the event Falcon 9′s schedule becomes too busy.

Rumour: I was told that there will be two more Zenit-3SL launches in 2013 after Intelsat 27. Probably in August and November. Satellites will be transferred from Proton-M rockets.

heard same thing with additional info that they will use backlogged Zenit's that are in storage. I cannot confirm as I have not found this anywhere else.

The two hardware sets were already sent to Baikonur.

I hope its the right place to post this:

Google translate doesn't make much sense so can anyone who understands Russian clarify this? Is V. Lapota asking Roscosmos to buy/bail out sea launch?

"Google translate doesn't make much sense..."
and that's because the original text does the same :)

Here is my translation (shortened for clarity) -
Title:
«МОРСКОЙ СТАРТ» ПРЕДЛОЖИЛИ ВЫКУПИТЬ ГОСУДАРСТВУ   
THEY OFFERED TO BUY OFF "SEA LAUNCH" TO THE GOVERNMENT.

Subtitle:
Head of Rocket and Space Corporation (RKK) "Energia" Vitaly Lopota proposed to transfer the control over "Sea Launch" project to the state.

First paragraph:
"I presented this idea during a visit to our factory Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin [my comment: on January 15, i.e., BEFORE the failure], - Lopota said to "Izvestiya" - No answer yet, but, in our view, the deal is beneficial for the state. Russia will get its own launch site on the equator for relatively little money. The volume of current liabilities "Sea Launch" today is a little more than $ 300 million"

[Later in the article Lopota says]:
“…to date, the portfolio of ‘Sea Launch’ has 12 starts, a number of orders is under discussion.”
[my comment – I’d love to see the list ;) ]
[another quote from Lapota, specifically difficult to translate]:
“We would like to have state support not only in the form of taking full responsibility of Sea Launch project. As a support, they could give us, for example, a pair of starts in the Federal Space Program. The government of Kazakhstan limited number of launches from Baikonur. Therefore, Sea Launch could be an alternative to alleviate this limitation”.

[“Izvestia” could not get an official response to Lapota’s statement]:
In Roskosmos officials declined to comment.
[The article also gives unnamed source in Russian Space Agency]:
“The "Energia" recently had difficulties with raising funds for refinancing "Sea Launch". In December 2012, Sberbank declined a loan of $ 200 million”.
“Voiced by Lapota amount "Sea Launch" debt of $ 300 million is questionable. Six months ago, we estimated debt of the project as $ 530 million”
[“Izvestia” quotes Yuri Koptev, the former head of Russian Space Agency]:
“As far as I know, today Sea Launch has only two satellite launches booked”.
=============
Square brackets = my comments.
One last detail – Lopota said that to become profitable Sea Launch needs to perform at least 6 launches per year. As I get it, they got no profit last year.
Bottom line: Looks like this failure puts Sea Launch in serious trouble. May be Elon Musk should consider, along with Boca Chica plans, buying their platform.  But, this is topic for another thread -

Somewhere in the threads was the point that Sealaunch needed 4 launches per year to break even.

From Echostar 10-K

In addition, in connection with the Hughes Acquisition, we acquired contractual rights to receive $44 million in cash discounts on future launch services (“Credits”) and assigned an estimated fair value of $22 million to the Credits on the acquisition date, which was recorded in “Other noncurrent assets, net.”  In November 2012, we entered into an agreement for alternative launch services and determined that the potential to realize value from the Credits was less than previously estimated.  Based on an updated fair value estimate using unobservable inputs that considered factors such as the viability of the launch services provider and marketability of the Credits, we recognized a $22 million impairment loss to reduce the carrying amount of the Credits to their estimated fair value of approximately zero as of December 31, 2012.

- How true appeared in the media about the possible purchase of "Sea Launch" state?
[ Lopota: ]Such statements that are attributed to me, do not. The fact that it is widely discussed in the press can be attributed to the conductors of unfair competition within the country. At a meeting in RSC "Energia", which is held in January Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin noted that the project "Sea Launch" - for now the only real project using technology that will allow our country in a reasonably short period of time and in an acceptable state for funding create a super-heavy carrier is required to address future challenges of research and exploration of deep space (Moon, Mars, asteroids, and so on). These technologies already have the necessary flight availability and can be incorporated in the next generation of promising for Russian launch vehicles.

Due to a number of publications, which distort the true state of work on "Sea Launch" in the Russian press, the company "Boeing" went to court in California. In this situation dealt with lawyers.

Sea Launch and EchoStar Reach Preliminary Agreement for Launch Services
Launch scheduled to take place in 2015

http://www.sea-launch.com/news-q11356-Sea_Launch_and_EchoStar_Reach_Preliminary_Agreement_for_Launch_Services.aspx

Bern, Switzerland and Englewood, Colorado, March 18, 2013 - Sea Launch AG and  EchoStar Satellite Services, a wholly owned subsidiary of EchoStar Corp. (NASDAQ: SATS), have announced that Sea Launch has been identified as the intended launch services provider for the launch of a satellite from the ocean-based Odyssey launch platform in 2015.

Sea Launch’s powerful Zenit-3SL vehicle is ideally suited for launching heavyweight-class spacecraft, with multiple restart capability and heavy-lift performance.  Sea Launch’s history with EchoStar dates back to 2003. Most recently it launched the EchoStar XI satellite.

Sergey Gugkaev, chief executive officer of Sea Launch, said, “Sea Launch welcomes the opportunity to support EchoStar’s launch requirement in 2015.”  Kjell Karlsen, president of Sea Launch, added, “We are pleased to extend our relationship with EchoStar and we look forward to providing the required flexibility, performance and diversity of supply necessary to support their business plan.”

“This preliminary agreement with Sea Launch provides EchoStar with the flexibility we require to accommodate our launch requirements as we undertake the expansion of our North American fleet," said Anders Johnson, president of EchoStar Satellite Services. “We have been pleased with Sea Launch’s performance on past missions and look forward to continued success.”
