  Thank you but sadly this is generic data.   They used to put out mission-specific data - I have the earlier profiles saved onto my hard drive.

  Thanks, I can't find the information anywhere on the web. (last time on a commercial Land Launch mission the information is on Sea Launch's website, but not this time  )

• Tsenki now on live coverage. Also one engineer at NK forums is giving out updates too.
  
  I suggest you guys use this link instead of the usually given ones - the connection is usually more stable.
