Lenta.ru is referencing the Interfax report that during regular launch preparation activities crane hit the sollar array of MEASAT-1R sattelite. How serious is the damage and how much time would be required for repait is not clear. Additional checks of the integrity of the fuel tanks may be required since sattelite was already fueled for launch. Launch (which was planned for August 22) will most probably be postponed.

MEASAT-3a SATELLITE LAUNCH POSTPONED http://www.measat.com/pdf/press/press_080810.pdf "Kuala Lumpur, 10 August 2008 -- MEASAT Satellite Systems Sdn Bhd (MEASAT) announced today that the launch of its latest spacecraft, MEASAT-3a, originally scheduled for 21 August 2008, had been postponed. The postponement was due to a technical issue at the launch site.
The issue is currently being assessed by Orbital Sciences, the spacecraft's manufacturer, with preparations under way for the spacecraft to be returned to the Orbital facility in Dulles, US for repair. "While unfortunate, our technical team is working closely with Orbital Sciences, Intelsat Corporation (the launch services provider), and SeaLaunch (Intelsat's subcontractor) to ascertain the most prudent approach to repair the spacecraft and prepare it for a revised launch date, which will be announced in due course." said Paul Brown-Kenyon, COO of MEASAT.
With 12 high powered C-band and 12 high powered Ku-Band transponders, MEASAT-3a has been designed to support the expansion of MEASAT's Direct to Home (DTH), Broadcasting and Telecommunications businesses. The postponement will have no impact on the services provide by the company to existing customers and no material impact on the company’s financial results for the current financial year"

Presumably this means a long delay. Can Land Launch use this rocket to launch a different satellite (eg. Telstar 11N)?

Orbital Supporting MEASAT In Replanning Mission Schedule Following Accidental Damage To Spacecraft Caused By Launch Service Provider's Ground Support Equipment(Dulles, VA 12 August 2008) – Orbital Sciences Corporation (NYSE: ORB) is helping to support its customer, MEASAT Satellite Systems (MSE: MEASAT) in replanning the MEASAT 3a satellite mission following an accident that occurred over the weekend that damaged the spacecraft, the company stated today. While at the Baikonour, Kazakhstan launch site, an overhead crane operated by MEASAT’s launch service provider accidentally impacted the MEASAT 3a satellite.
A team of MEASAT and Orbital engineers are currently assessing the extent of the damage to determine the next course of action, which may result in the satellite being returned to Orbital’s satellite manufacturing facility for repair and retesting. Based on the findings of the damage assessment, which is expected to take several weeks, the MEASAT and Orbital team will also be replanning the launch schedule.
“We are working closely with our customer to do all that we can to assess the situation and recommend a course of action that will put the mission back on track in as little time as possible,” said Mr. Christopher Richmond, Senior Vice President and head of Orbital Commercial Communications satellite programs. “Orbital is working diligently with MEASAT to overcome this difficult situation and put the mission back on the path toward success.”

Also according to http://pda.rbc.ru/newsline/20080906173247.shtml the next launch of Zenit-3SLB rocket is planned in December 2008 - January 2009
According to Novosti kosmonavtiki forum, this report was about Telstar 11N satellite.
Could they use the same Zenit-3SLB rocket in Telstar 11N mission which was prepared for Measat 3A?

The satellite was expected to be shipped to a decontamination facility in New Mexico before returning to the manufacturing plant for repair. At the time, it was scheduled to return to Baikonur in March 2009".

Preparations Underway for Launch of MEASAT-3a Satellitehttp://www.sea-launch.com/news_releases/2009/nr_090615.htmlJune 15, 2009, Long Beach, Calif. – Preparations are underway at the Baikonur Space Center in Kazakhstan for the launch of the MEASAT-3a (formerly MEASAT-1R) communications satellite on June 21, at 2:50pm Pacific Time (21:50 GMT), at the start of a 17-minute launch window.
From the Land Launch pad at Area 45, a Zenit-3SLB vehicle will lift the 2,366 kg (5,216 lb) MEASAT-3a spacecraft to geosynchronous transfer orbit, on its way to a final orbital position of 91.5 degrees East Longitude. Orbital Sciences built the MEASAT-3a spacecraft for MEASAT Satellite Systems Sdn Bhd, to expand capacity and in-orbit redundancy for MEASAT’s customers. MEASAT is a premium supplier of satellite communications services to Asia’s leading broadcasters, direct-to-home (DTH) platforms and telecom operators.
Orbital’s STAR-2 spacecraft platform carries 12 Ku-band and 12 C-band transponders. It includes three antennas that will provide C-band fixed satellite services across the Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, Europe and Australia, as well as Ku-band DTH television broadcasting to Malaysia and Indonesia. The spacecraft is designed for a 15-year service life on orbit and will generate approximately 3.6 kW of payload power.

From the Land Launch web page:
"Successful 3rd operation of the Block DM-SLB upper stage completed."
"Spacecraft Separation was confirmed at 04:14:47 GMT"
"Spacecraft Acquisition is confirmed. Spacecraft health has been checked" "(Telemetry and Command) with nominal results."
Appears to be a successful launch. The final orbital parameters will tell for certain.
A few items of note.
This was the 70th Zenit (2 or 3) launch since 1985.
This was the second Zenit launch of the year from Baikonur, most since 2000.
Every single orbital launch performed from our planet during the past month was powered by NPO Energomash (Glushko) kerosene/LOX rocket engines, as were 11 of the 34 launch attempts made so far this year
