Liftoff for the Thuraya-3 mobile communications satellite is planned for 3:49 PST Tuesday, Jan. 15.
Sea Launch was forced to abandon an earlier attempt to launch the satellite when unusually strong currents forced the ship to return to port.
Sea Launch’s Zenit-3SL rocket resumes operations with this flight, following an unsuccessful launch in January 2007.
