TheSenator · 03-15-2008, 01:05 PM

Perhaps because Russian rockets don't explode each time they are launched

BTW, here is a launch of a commercial satellite by Russian Topol-M mobile platform which is intended to launch SS-20 Satan missiles with separating nuclear warheads: http://rutube.ru/tracks/469165.html

Looks awesome and takes only about 30-40 seconds to get ready and fire.

Another video about what we are doing when we get tired to drink vodka and play with bears in wooden snowy Russia: http://rutube.ru/tracks/361965.html

Yeah, everyone knows there is no advanced technology (instead of balalayka and matreshka of course) and no weapon in Russia - enjoy!

"A Russian rocket launched a communications satellite produced by US defence company Lockheed Martin into space on Saturday but failed to take it into the planned orbit, Russian space officials said."

That's what happens when you try to save a few bucks by outsourcing

Something different happens then USA use their own rockets. Do you remember Challenger? For example after the Columbia incident, ALL the US astronauts were sent to the space on Russian rockets only, within about next 2years. Its not a tragedy when a satellite is being sent to a lower orbit. But when the US rocket blows up it's a different case, right? How many Russian cosmonauts died due to rocket launch incidents? ZERO! Now try to count the Americans. Any questions?

One more comment to that. Saving a few bucks is cool, but saving lives of your astronauts is priceless

ADL Colin · 03-15-2008, 03:12 PM

The latest Atlas rocket uses a russian built engine. it's not exactly US/Russia though. The atlas was developed by a public US company (Lockheed) which made the decision to use a russian built engine.

Even the shuttle itself was developed by a US company under contract and not by NASA.

And in this story it is a US company (lockheed again) launching a satellite from a russian rocket.

Did you actually read it, or just post based on the first 5 words in a article?

It wasn't a US "spy" satellite..it was a telecom satellite, owned by a private company.

"The AMC-14 satellite is owned by SES Americom, a major telecommunications provider for North and South America. It includes new technology that can allow telecommunications coverage to be altered while the satellite is in orbit.

Oh, so you want me to find those that were "verified" killed "on launch?" Those are the only ones that count?

Confirmed kills and on launch?

I can think of one rocket explosion right off the bat that killed several scientists and some high ranking Russian guy. The idoit made them all stay too close to the rocket when it launched.. It blew up and killed them all.

1) Was it a rocket launch incident?
2) How many Soviet cosmonauts died?

Wrong it wasn't a launch. There was a short circuit during fueling operation. The tech guys died not because some one "made them all stay too close", but because it was their job to perform a spade-work.

Yes, we are talking about rockets. Right? The question was: how many Russian cosmonauts have died because of rocket launch incidents. Actually for all the times, there was only 2 death incidents with Russian cosmonauts. Both happened during the landing procedure:
1st case: depressurization of landing module
2nd case: failure of parachute

That's all. And no one cosmonaut died due to problems with Russian rockets. This thread is about rockets but not about parachutes IMHO

Looks like it was DISH network satellite.
Everyone with Dish NET is screwed for a while now waiting for all the new HD channels.

http://seekingalpha.com/article/6884...-be-total-loss

DISH Network’s (DISH) high-def strategy suffered a setback on Friday night when a rocket launching a satellite the company had leased failed to reach the intended final orbit.

In a statement, International Launch Services, which handled the rocket launch from Kazakhstan, said that there was an “anomaly” during one stage of the launch.
