Posted by WillD on Fri Aug 10 04:10:09 2012, in response to Re: Another Russian Failure in Space, posted by Olog-hai on Thu Aug 9 17:13:33 2012. While all Russian launches are performed by the Russian military, they are arranged by Western companies through Russian companies which contract the military's launch services. This is very similar to the arrangement under which the Atlas Centaur and Commercial Titan III launches were sold by US companies despite the actual launch services being provided by the USAF prior to the DOD ceding launch services to ULA. One would never have said a Commercial Titan III launch of an Intelsat communication satellite was anything other than commercial, and so it is with this launch. |
