Ah soon another APT for me to observe, which will make 26 of them in orbit.

At 0:03 UTC ( Feb 11 ) a proton rocket with a breeze M upper stage, will lift off with 2 geo sat's, making this a first for the Breeze M upperstage. Before there's always been just one geo sat, on the Breeze M upperstage. 

This dual satellite on the Breeze M upperstage, will be used for future commercial launches. 

Less then 12 hours to liftoff :)

No webcast, as far as I aware.

Kevin
