 Reston VA (SPX) Nov 12, 2007
 ICO Global Communications announced that Lockheed Martin Commercial Launch Services (LMCLS), in consultation with the United Launch Alliance (ULA), has established a slot of March 1, 2008 - March 31, 2008 for the launch of ICO's G1 satellite. The launch will take place at Cape Canaveral, Florida. The timing of ICO's launch has been determined through careful coordination with ULA's launch manifest requirements for other satellites to be launched prior to ICO G1.

"We're pleased that the Atlas V launch vehicle performed flawlessly during an October 2007 mission, and we are now looking forward to our ICO G1 launch early next year," stated Tim Bryan, ICO's chief executive officer. "Our final preparations for the launch in March 2008 are underway, and the Atlas V launch vehicle for ICO G1 has already arrived at the Cape."

The LMCLS letter confirming the March 2008 launch slot and ICO's related request have been submitted to the Federal Communications Commission reflecting the new launch slot availability.
