Big time stress

For all those that are interested in the Arabsat 4A launch campaign, the big event is set for 20:10 GMT on Tuesday, February 28th. This would correspond to 2:10 pm Winnipeg time (noon B.C.) on Tuesday afternoon. The webcast will likely start 1/2 hour prior to the actual liftoff. Here's the link.

A Proton rocket based out of the Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan will be the launch vehicle for the satellite. When in service, A4A will provide services over North Africa, the Middle East, and Western Europe.
