Nigcomsat Launch Today 5.01 BST
China is to launch the Nigcomsat satellite into space today on behalf of the Nigerian Space Agency. The launch is scheduled for 5.01 BST today. I think I may have read that the satellite will be positioned at 42.5e (though I'm not sure about that). Also, I hope someone (Analoguesat?
 ) may be able to come up with any details of a launch broadcast._http://spaceflightnow.com/tracking/index.html _http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=7887&mid=136563

Re: Nigcomsat Launch Today 5.01 BST
Its going up on a Chinese Long march rocket, so an outside chance of the launch being shown on CCTV9
