Satellite launcher delivered by Volga-Dnepr to Europe's Spaceport
VOLGA-DNEPR Airlines has delivered the third stage of the Soyuz-ST launch vehicle from Samara in Russia to Europe's Spaceport in Cayenne, French Guiana, in preparation for the vehicle to launch the US SES-15 satellite into orbit in early April for satellite communications company, SES.
Progress Space Rocket Centre, which commissioned the flight, approached the Russian airline earlier this year to discuss the delivery of the launch vehicle. Volga-Dnepr's Load Planning Centre produced a design of the special cradle to lift the launch vehicle into the IL-76TD-90VD freighter and a step-by-step guide to load the vehicle for its transportation.
"For last 26 years, Volga-Dnepr has earned a strong reputation with global satellite manufacturers for our knowledge and professionalism in moving very sensitive satellite technology," said company sales manager Sergey Lenivin.
