Baku. Aynur Veliyeva-APA-Economics. Malaysia’s newest satellite, the MEASAT-3a satellite blasted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome on Monday.

Ukrainian embassy in Baku said MEASAT-3a, manufactured by Orbital Sciences Corp of Dulles, was taken into orbit by Ukraine’s Zenit-3SLB Launch vehicle until its final location at 91.5 degrees East Longitude.

Experts say Zenit 3SLB expendable carrier rocket is one of the most reliable launcher in the world. The fact that Taurus II medium-capacity expendable launch system, being developed by Orbital Sciences Corporation, will share some features of Zenit 3SLB, proves the reliability of Zenit vehicle.

Because Measat 3a and Azerbaijan’s AzerSat have much in common, it is possible to launch this satellite through Zenit 3SLB too.

Earlier, Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Communications and Information Technologies said the country may launch its first satellite into geostationary orbit in 2011.
