Russia launched a U.S. telecommunications satellite from Kazakhstan after a 24-hour delay for technical reasons unspecified, reported Tuesday the Russian agency Roskosmos space, quoted by news agency Interfax.
"The launch was carried out as planned," said a spokesman, adding that the Zenit rocket took off at midnight Moscow time (22h in mainland Spain).
The Intelsat-15, produced by the Orbital Sciences Corporation, based in the United States must provide telecommunications services in the Middle East and Russia.
