Upcoming Launch - Easter Monday

On Monday, Apr. 9th at around 6 pm EDT ( 5 pm Wpg.), a live webcast will be available covering the launch of one of my company's satellites from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

I found this article last week covering the de-orbit of a satellite, which should be rather shocking to anyone spending a lot of time in airplanes. For some reason, the whole story is just so much more disturbing given that this plane was midway over the Pacific, not that it really matters much at 30000 ft.

    Hey Greg, Enjoyed the launch and Grandson Alex was thoroughly impressed and excited to see a real rocket launch. Thanks for pointing us in this direction. Now, post more BABY pics! Take care and kiss that baby,

    Hi Marj;

    The launch did go off well. I was a little dissapointed though that they stayed focused in so close on the nose cone, and didn't cut back to show the ignition. Oh well. Great that it went up at a decent hour so Alex could see it.

    More pictures coming soon. Our computer died here 2 weeks ago, but we're back up with a new one now.
