Launch!!!!
The Russian Navy has confirmed that Cosmos 1 lifed off at 3:46 PM eastern time. So far they haven't confirmed any more details other than to say, everything seems to be going fine.
Don't know what I'm talking about? Click here!
Further updates will be in this thread.
UPDATE: The Planetary Society Cosmos 1 blog is up at the moment, it's been up and down all day as the MSM picks up the story. Right now they are waiting for acquisition of signal at Panska Ves (a ground station).
UPDATE: Looks like the spacecraft was lost between the final burn and orbital insertion. They got a little more data over Kamchatka, but nothing since then. Spacecomm can't see it, so it's probably not where it should be. They're still looking for it, and sending commands for it to "talk". Check out the blog for more.
