at the same q1 webcast, they said first half of 2008. since, i've read they have been able to move that up to first quarter 2008 because the problems which caused the sea launch anomoly had been resolved.
From everything I have been gathering the past two days - things have begun to roll again and today Sea Launch officially mentions the October 'return to Launch' on the home page of their website:
Sea Launch Home Page
The same sources that put out that info last week are saying that DIRECTV-11 is the 2nd bird on the schedule right now and looks like end of year liftoff. Prior to any official confirmation of return to launch, DirecTV and others could only give best 'guesstimates', now they will learn their place in line. I also think that instead of saying anything overly optimistic, they chose to mention the 'outside' dates for their launch.
Regardless, December, February, etc, at this point it matters little. When D10 turns on in September they will have excess space long past the first half off next year for available programming and channels.
I say congrats to the Sea Launch team for completing its recovery in a reasonable amount of time - and are anxiously awaiting the FIRST launch in October. Once that goes up, all the rest will follow in its due course.
