A Proton rocket is set to lift off Tuesday for the first time since a December launch mishap placed a Russian communications satellite in the wrong orbit.
The 191-foot-tall rocket will launch at 1906:48 GMT (3:06:48 p.m. EDT) Tuesday from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
The Proton's payload fairing contains the Satmex 8 communications satellite for Satelites Mexicanos S.A., or Satmex, Mexico's leading satellite operator.
International Launch Services, the Proton's commercial sales firm, arranged the mission on Proton.
