A Russian government Proton-M rocket launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on Monday, carrying two telecommunication satellites. The 19:31 GMT launch of the workhorse of the Russian fleet involved the lofting of the Telkom-3 and Ekspress-MD2 satellites on a several hour flight to their orbital destination. However, both satellites were lost due to a failure of the Briz-M upper stage.
