• Eveything looks good for tonights Proton-M/Briz-M launch with the AMC-14 communications satellite.
  
  In the afternoon there was the meeting of the State Commission that ensured everyone was ready for launch before giving the goahed for propolent load. At this time the PU-39 launch pad was also cleared of all non-essencial personnel. The propolent load started at T-6 h and at T-2,5 h the pad was open for the final closeouts and service tower removal.

  Where did you get that image?
  
  And it's Proton-M, not KM. Proton-KM retired years ago.

• A nice Proton-M/Briz-M waiting for launch....
  
  Is it possible anyone to record the launch?

  Are you sure about his designation?
  
  The image is from a Khrunichev transmission...

  KM was the designation for a Proton-K with a Briz-M upper stage. I think.
  
  Spot the mistake with the countdown clock.
