Russia's Proton rocket reached the launch pad Saturday morning at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, riding on a train before being rotated vertical on top of the launch complex.
The 191-foot-tall rocket, affixed with a Breeze M upper stage, is set to lift off Tuesday at 1602 GMT (12:02 p.m. EDT) with the Eutelsat 3D communications satellite to serve video, data and broadband markets in Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
