The Proton Breeze M rocket has successfully launched the third Inmarsat-4 (I-4) satellite, which weighs more than six tonnes and is the size of a London double-decker bus.
The satellite was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan earlier this week. The satellite has been in development for two decades, taking in $1.5bn investment.
