LONG BEACH - 0411/05 - The DIRECTV Group has scheduled a late April launch for a satellite aboard a Sea Launch rocket.
Sea Launch, which launches satellites into orbit from a mobile sea-going platform near the equator, is headquartered in Long Beach.
The Boeing-built Spaceway F1 satellite is one of four that DIRECTV has scheduled for launch over the next three years in a major expansion of its programming capacity.
The expansion will enable DIRECTV to deliver more than 1,500 local and national high-definition channels and other advanced television programming services to consumers nationwide by 2007.
