A Kosmotras Dnepr rocket is ready to launch the 5-satellite RapidEye constellation from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on August 29, 2008, at 07:15 UT (08:15 BST).

The commercial RapidEye remote sensing satellites will provide 6.5metre resolution imagery between latitudes ±75 degrees, for agriculture monitoring and disaster relief.
The satellite constellation will be placed into a common sun-synchronous orbit of 630 km, with the satellites orbiting about 19 minutes apart.
