Mission details:

• Space International Services of Moscow launched a 'Land Launch' Zenit-3SLB rocket from Baikonur with the Telstar 11N satellite on board. The Blok DM-SLB third stage made three burns, from a -2268 x 373 km x 51.4 deg initial state to a 175 x 651 km x 51.4 deg parking orbit, a 202 x 35575 km x 50.7 deg intermediate orbit, and a planned 1494 x 35797 km x 34.6 deg deployment orbit. The Telstar 11N then used its own engine to raise its orbit to 6415 x 35803 km x 17.7 deg on the way to GEO.
• Telstar 11N is owned by Telesat, which is based in Ottawa. Although it is probably operated by Telesat's Bedminster, New Jersey office which is the corporate successor to the original AT&T Telstar satellite operation, it seems that it should be counted as a Canadian-owned satellite.
• 39 Ku-band transponders; North America, Europe, Africa, across Atlantic.
