anik - 26/7/2006 7:42 PMJester, the link http://coopi.khrunichev.ru/video.htm has worked live for KazSat launch (June 17, 2006) and will be worked live again for KOMPSat-2 launch (July 28, 2006)... This link will not work live for today's launch, because this launch does not relate to Khrunichev enterprise...

The first stage is supposed to burn for 130 seconds, followed by a 190 second-long second stage burn.Cal Poly also said that the first stage completed its burn, so perhaps the failure occurred 86 seconds into the second stage burn.First R-36M2 failure since 1988. - Ed Kyle
