Dish Network Satellite Fails
A new satellite launched by Dish Network to increase its ability to offer High Definition programming has failed shortly after its launch. No word on how this will effect the service's plan to roll-out up to 100 HD channels by the end of the year.
The AMC-14 satellite, which Dish was leasing from SES Americom, lifted off successfully yesterday morning.
But International Launch Services, which was conducting the launch, reports that an "anomaly" occurred during the second burn of the Breeze M upper stage. The satellite then failed to reach its planned orbit.
