The launch occurred as scheduled on 2005 Jun 21 at 19:46:09 UTC. Some signal was heard during the orbital insertion burn, but so far, there has been no confirmation of orbital insertion. I believe it best to proceed on the basis that the spacecraft is in the planned orbit: Cosmos 1 1.1 1.0 0.0 8.2 d 1 67000U Cosmos1 05172.83732211 -.00022766 00000-0 -94153-2 0 08 2 67000 80.0406 213.0716 0058440 136.4904 352.7259 14.25860033 17 Europe will have a northbound pass in less than one hour, beginning about 21:21 UTC.
