Successful First Burn

Posted by the ILS Communications Team at 7:40pm EDT, Friday on 14 March 2008

Proton's three stages, including payload fairing jettison, have performed flawlessly. The Breeze M upper stage, which has had its first burn and is presently in a circular parking orbit, will now complete the mission. We'll let you know when we receive confirmation of the Breeze M second burn. That should be in about an hour.
