It may do - the Russians seem to show them if it is an international payload. I'll post a link if it is

Russian launch video seems to be crap quality compared to NASA ones - around 910x650 resolution

Missed that.

NASA have optical tracking just about perfect these days. Other space agencies are a lot less proficient at this.

Both NASA and ESA live videos tend to be HD these days - the Russians seem to still be in the SVGA stage



Docking with ISS will be live later this afternoon around 16:30 ( I think )

I've not seen any mention of it Eric - I suspect the payload is too heavy to allow a recovery attempt

Launch time: Monday March 9th 1305 GMT

Launch site: Satish Dhawan Space Center, Sriharikota, India

India’s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV), flying on the PSLV-C27 mission, will launch the IRNSS 1D navigation satellite. The payload is the fourth spacecraft in the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System, which aims to improve positioning services over India and neighboring regions.

Don't yet know if there will be video coverage

[MartG]

Ignore the above date/time - it's been postponed
