Satellite Lauch Schedule

Sea Launch:
2009
4 October – Eutelsat W7 – 3SL/DM-SL – SL

2010
Second half – XM 5 – 3SL/DM-SL – SL
Fourth quarter – SkyTerra 2 – 3SL/DM-SL – SL (or first quarter 2011)
End of year – O3b Networks (8 satellites) – 3SL/DM-SL – SL

2011
First quarter – Intelsat 17 – 3SL/DM-SL – SL

Sea Launch would seem to have plenty of room, but I believe there is some major Commander/Odyssey work to be done, plus some Zenit supply chain issues.

Not sure if there is space there or not.

A Delta IV Medium+ could do it, too.

I think the best bets are Arianespace or Sea Launch.
