We have had a successful mission with the ILS Proton Rocket, carrying the ViaSat-1 satellite built by Space Systems/Loral for ViaSat. We have had confirmation that the ViaSat-1 satellite separated from the vehicle on schedule at 12:00am EDT, or 04:00 GMT, 9 hours and 12 minutes after liftoff.
Everything occurred as planned with ignition, shutdown and separation of the Proton’s first three stages. Then the Breeze M upper stage with the satellite continued the mission, igniting five times, and then releasing the satellite into transfer orbit.
