This event should not have been an issue. If they (Lockheed & SES) would have installed the refueling coulpings we had proposed to them they could get the additional fuel by the time they will need it, by our on-orbit refueling system HERMES (under development). see http://www.georing.biz/OTHER/whitepaper_HERMES_low.pdf

The satellite will most probably reach eventually orbit but will be short of fuel.

AMC-14 Launch:Failure or Partial Failure?

"The Proton itself performed nominally, and the Briz-M upper stage successfully completed the first of three burns. During the second burn, however, an undisclosed malfunction occurred, leaving the satellite stranded in a much lower orbit than planned." I think that this is a partial failure because if it were a failure, the AMC-14 would have not reached orbit at all due to an explosion,disintegration ,crash,etc. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 124.106.192.163 (talk • contribs) 07:46, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
