Stevenage built satellite to launch
Scientists in Hertfordshire are expecting to watch the launch of one of their satellites into space this morning. The SES-6 is a multipurpose satellite built by Astrium in Stevenage.
It's being launched from Kazakhstan but the satellite's makers will be able to watch its lift-off from big screens in the Astrium staff restaurant. The satellite is expected to help expand cable channel growth in Latin America.
