Next launch tonight for the Americans on the site.

"scheduled for Thursday morning 29th Dec, 02:28:40 (UK time) or 9:28pm US Eastern on the 28th (today)."

Five launches in nine days if all goes to plan.

And four from the Baikonur Cosmodrome. Great recognition and respect to Russia.

Here's Sky News' video of the launch and report. Sky News (UK and Europe) are very, very good at covering space flight...but I would say that.
