KIEV, June 27 – The state-run Pivdenny Machine Building Plant (Pivdenmash, Dnipropetrovsk) has resumed the delivery of Zenit rockets for the next launches in the Land Launch program from Baikonur space center, following upgrades carried out after an investigation into the cause of February's failed launch attempt of an Intelsat-27 spacecraft.

After having their power supply units upgraded and their reliability enhanced, two Zenit rockets were recently dispatched to Baikonur space center, spokesman for the Dnipropetrovsk-based Pivdenne Design Bureau Yuriy Moshnenko told Interfax-Ukraine.

"The Zenit rockets dispatched to Baikonur space center are to be launched in the third and fourth quarter of this year under the Land Launch program," he said.
