To launch KAZSAT-2 with another satellite in March 2011 rocket needs to fly a different trajectory. Heading for an initial 48° orbit?http://www.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/content/news.shtmlhttp://www.rian.ru/science/20101110/294707158.htmlhttp://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=19646.msg514402#msg514402
The Kazsat-2 satellite will be paired with SES-3 for SES. This Kazsat-2 mission will be inserted directly into GSO and the SES-3 spacecraft that will be delivered to GTO.
This sounds too complicated.

The launch of the first Soyuz TMA by Soyuz-2-1A rocket is planned not earlier than 2014.
