Launched as a single, not in a triple set.

Another single launch and a triple launch are planned yet for this year.

Anyone have any ideas how many more M's the Russians have to launch? The new K's weigh half as much so they could launch 2 or 6 at a time. I would not foresee much need for a 6 satellite launch anytime in the future as the Russians have their 24 active satellites and multiple spares up there already.

a launch is going off of the cape tomorrow at around 3 or something. Hear it's an "intelligence" bird, but down here in the Treasure Coast we just look North and see stuff going up all the time.

yes my spelling sucks after 6

Hmmm ... I thought Intelligence Sats were only launched from Vandenberg. Wonder how long it's been since that changed?
