We had a successful liftoff about 11 minutes ago of the ILS Proton M Breeze M rocket, which is carrying the ViaSat-1 satellite onboard. The three stages of the Proton vehicle have performed as planned, and it is up to the Breeze M upper stage to complete the mission. The upper stage has begun its first burn, which is scheduled to last around 7 minutes.
