If everything went as planned, Telstar 11N would be shipped to Baikonur in mid-November 2008"

I was told the satellite will possibly arrive to cosmodrome on December 1st. But it depends on results of investigation of incidents with MeaSat-3a satellite.

"Preparations are underway for the launch of the Telstar 11N satellite on the Land Launch system in February. Space Systems/Loral (SS/L) built this satellite for Telesat, one of the world's leading fixed satellite services operators, to provide high powered, state-of-the-art satellite capacity for a broad range of video and data applications. With 39 high-power Ku-band transponders, Telstar 11N, weighing about 4010 kg (8,840 lb), is based on the SS/L 1300 platform which provides flexibility for a broad range of applications. The spacecraft also has a unique Atlantic Ocean beam, which will support growing demand for mobile broadband from maritime and aeronautical markets. Following launch, Telstar 11N will operate from 37.5 degrees West Longitude and will connect the continents of North America, Europe and Africa."

According to anik´s schedule Spektr-R will be launched in 2010. What is the reason that the rocket is already in Baikonur?
