Will be launch of Nimiq 4 delayed because of problems with Briz-KM ?
Was there any problem with the preparations for launch?
A component malfunction was detected in the LV control system during on–pad tests. The faulty component will be duly replaced by a spare.
I was told new equipments for control system of Proton-M rocket was delivered to cosmodrome by aircraft today. Malfunctioned equipments will be replaced on the first stage of rocket. If the following test of control system is successful, the launch will at 21:48:00 UTC on September 19th.

I have heard that malfunctioned equipments were replaced yesterday. Tests of control system of Proton-M rocket were successfully performed. The launch will be on-time.
(good stuff...)
The way it's presented implies it's available in real time too, but there doesn't ever seem to be a link on the current launch, only the old archived ones - am I missing something?

If someone has this information please post it here or send me a PM.AFAIK 90% of Proton's first stages fall to Ulytaus (spelling?) area of Karaganda region near towns of Dzhezkazgan and Satpajev.http://maps.google.com.au/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&sll=49.1719,75.224&sspn=0.010732,0.027809&ie=UTF8&ll=46.845164,66.132202&spn=2.874177,7.119141&z=8Also you will probably find this interesting:http://www.russianspaceweb.com/baikonur_downrange.html- see Nr.25,310
