A Russian Proton-M rocket carrying an Inmarsat communications satellite will be launched August 19, a spokesman for the Russian space agency said Friday.

The rocket is to be launched by the Russian-American joint venture International Launch Services from the Baikonur space center in Kazakhstan.

The agency earlier said an onboard computer failure was discovered in the Breeze M booster during prelaunch testing, causing the launch to be postponed from August 14.

The Inmarsat-4 satellites, built by EADS Astrium, are among the largest and most sophisticated commercial communication satellites in the world, delivering advanced voice and broadband data communications to mobile users.
