    On Apr 26  a Zenit-3SL rocket will be used to place a spaceway satellite into orbit.
    Spaceway 1 will be parked at 102.8 degrees West. 
    
    It's a boeing HS702 series of spacecraft

    I like HS 702 series of spacecraft, as they are one of the brighter geo sat's. I have observed
    them in my 70 mm refractor telescope.
    
    Mission Details.
