Sea Launch for UK Satellite
One of the largest and most powerful commercial satellites in the world is set to blast off on Monday. The UK-built Inmarsat-4 F2 is the second of three satellites designed to improve global communications systems.
It will be lifted into orbit by a Zenit-3SL rocket from a sea platform close to the equator.
The first satellite, which covers most of Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and the Indian Ocean, was launched from Cape Canaveral in March.
