Hi, It seems that today's Russian Proton launch failed. A preliminary report is that at T+260 sec telemetry dropped for a second, and since T+400 sec disappeared. Proton was launched at 1332 UTC with new upper stage Breeze and military comsat Raduga. The failure occured well before Breeze would start. There's a chance that only TM failed, not rocket itself, but it doesn't seem real. Igor Lissov Novosti Kosmonavtiki
