Lyngsat is not the most accurate source for launch info, it's focused more on satellite usage. If this satellite is launching from Baikonur, the only vehicle capable of launching it is Proton.Here is a news release from ILS of Echostar buying a launch from them without naming the payload. Perhaps this is Echostar 14.http://www.ilslaunch.com/news16
According to info given by anik in Novosti Kosmonavtiki forum, there will be only 2 launches with Zenit-3SLB, in February and in June!But, Land Launch has total of 5 orders for 2009 (2 delayed from 2008) Any comments?
