It is unknown for now whether launch will be tomorrow, because Kazakhstan have not permitted it yet.

Roscosmos calls the delay with W7 satellite launch a misapprehension caused by delay on getting a launch clearance from Kazakhstan. Roscosmos officials confirm all the necessary documents had been agreed upon and hope that it's going to be dissolved as soon as possible and the launch will be commenced on the backup date November 24, 2009.

On other hand, Kazcosmos informs that W7 launch has not been provided for by this year's agreed launch schedule. According to them, Roscosmos submitted the launch permission request to Kazakh Prime Minister's Chancellary as late as on September 26, 2009. To quote Kazcosmos' message, "Russian side was duly informed that decision taking process within Government of Kazakhstan takes considerable time and is not over yet at the moment".

Priceless! I've dealt with Kazakhstan Ministry of Environment before and had similar experience. Borat is not so far from the truth as you might think...

The ILS site hasn't been updated yet, still listing the status as "Delayed" and the blog hasn't been updated either. Are things actually on track for a launch today?

Or else you wouldn't have a live link from Baykonur...
