  SES S.A. is pleased to announce that the ASTRA 2E satellite roared into space on board an ILS Proton Breeze M booster last night at 3:38am Baikonur time (11:38pm CET and 5:38pm EDT on 29 September). After a nine-hour, 12-minute mission, the Breeze M upper stage of the Proton rocket successfully released the ASTRA 2E satellite directly into geostationary transfer orbit.
