Russia is to launch a carrying rocket on Wednesday to send into orbit a Thai satellite for Earth observation, local media reported on Monday.
The Dnepr, a satellite carrier modified from an intercontinental ballistic missile, will blast off from the Dombarovsky missile launching site in Russia's Ural mountains region with the THEOS (Thailand Earth Observation System) satellite atop.
"We are on schedule. The cone with THEOS has been attached to the rocket. The rocket will soon be filled with fuel," Interfax cited a space center source.
