A Proton rocket launched a Russian military satellite early Sunday. The Proton-M rocket lifted from the Baikonur Cosmodrome at 7:16 pm EST Saturday (0016 GMT Sunday) and placed the Kosmos-2434 satellite into its designated orbit, believed to be geosynchronous orbit, several hours later. Few details about the spacecraft were released beyond that it will serve the Russian military; some Western analysts believe it may be a military communications satellite.
