Clips: Russian Rocket with DirecTV Payload Explodes on SeaLaunch

Posted in: Gadgets, TV

Despite the huge explosion from this Zenit 3SL rocket yesterday—nobody is quite yet sure why it blew—rumor has it that SeaLaunch expects to be able to continue operation from their off-shore launch pad.

Fortunately, no one was hurt. SeaLaunch conducts operations from a ship three miles away from the pad. Unfortunately, the loss of the NSS-8 satellite may delay DirecTV’s new HD channels.
