Following the failure of the Proton launch vehicle to place ASTRA 1K, the
fourteenth satellite in the ASTRA series, into the correct orbit on November
26th, 2002, the technical teams of SES ASTRA, Alcatel Space, CNES and NORAD
have succeeded in stabilising the spacecraft in a circular orbit at an
altitude of 290 km, where it can be safely sustained to allow the
engineering teams to assess the status of the satellite and appropriate
actions in due course.
