Something That Gives Pause To SDARS
January 31, 2007
While the
explosion such as yesterdays loss of the
NSS-8 satellite and Sea Launch
Zenit-3
SL vehicle are rare, they do happen. Sea Launch had the following statement:
Sea Launch Experiences Anomaly during NSS-8 Launch
Long Beach, Calif., January 30, 2007 –A Sea Launch
Zenit-3
SL vehicle, carrying the
NSS-8 satellite, experienced an anomaly today during launch operations.
Sea Launch will establish a Failure Review Oversight Board to determine the root cause of this anomaly. Please call the Sea Launch Hot Line for further information, as it becomes available. We will also post updates on the Sea Launch website at
http://www.sea-launch.com/.
Again, this type of event is rare, but is something satellite radio investors should be aware of. To be clear, this event had nothing to do with Sirius or
XM satellites.
Sea Launch most recently launched
XM4, which was an overwhelming success. Sirius contracts launches with
ILS. The video above is located on
