Launch of Inmarsat's New 14 Satellite: A Giant Leap for Global Broadband

The video details the launch of a Zenit rocket carrying Inmarsat's New 14 satellite from a modified oil rig in the Pacific Ocean. The launch, conducted by Sea Launch, involved international collaboration. After a successful launch and a 25-minute coast, the satellite was picked up by a ground station in British Columbia. Control then shifted to Inmarsat's team in London, who will test and prepare the satellite for its role in providing global broadband service. The satellite will be positioned in a geosynchronous orbit to support mobile terminals with half megabit data speed.
