[i]The Proton-M rocket was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 11:47 a.m. and crashed in the Chita region of Siberia about eight minutes later, the reports said. The failure appeared to have occurred with the rocket's third stage, which was intended to bring the satellite to an altitude of about 110 miles. At that point, it was supposed to have been propelled by engine boosters into stationary orbit.[/i]
