there seems to be something about the "kosmodroma Baikonur" in the headlines...

About 40 mins ago there was a brief 30 sec piece on it, a few seconds of it being erected onto the launch pad and then some pretty graphics of the final stage shut down, satellites being deployed and then the whole constellation, didn't manage to get any pics of though. I'll carry on watching (Dr Who at the same time of course
) and see if they come back to it.

In the little spot was showed launch of GLONASS satellites. It was in the news in 20:00 GMT.

Heh, I gave up on it and went back to Dr Who too
Not to worry, was always going to be a bonus to get any webcast of this kind of launch.

Finished watching doctor who and came back to find this small segment
(About 30 seconds)

Great catch. Many thanks for grabbing.

Thanks for the video! Perhaps we get another version later.

So, with this we closed the 2007 launches. Just for the record, and according to my records, this was the 1200th successful orbital launch from Cosmodrome GIK-5 Baykonur!

So, with this we closed the 2007 launches.
It is the 65th launch to make orbit this year (68th orbital launch overall), so despite a slow start to the year, for a second year running, launch rates are showing signs of recovering.
Next launch (ie the start of the 2008 launch year) will be a PSLV with Polaris, currently scheduled for 2 January. -

This was also the 20th orbital launch from Baikonur in 2007, not the 18th (you might want to correct that in the story Chris).
Only 63 of the 68 orbital launch attempts were flawless. Two more suffered launch vehicle failures that left payloads in lower than planned orbits. In both cases the payloads were apparently able to boost themselves to operational orbits.

Thanks Ed! Will do. -

I don't understand why the Russians say that now there are 18 GLONASS in orbit.
According to TsUS :
http://www.glonass-ianc.rsa.ru/pls/htmldb/f?p=201:5:18238399572189326210::NO
there were only 13 active satellites before this launch. So, today, there should be 16 ?...
Maybe Cosmos 2402 and 2417, that are declared out of service since april and july were retired only TEMPORARILY from the system. -
