While a Sea Launch Zenit 3SL booster is reconfigured for a rescheduled launch in May of the XM Radio company's Roll satellite after its aborted lift-off on 9 January, the next Sea Launch mission will use another Zenit 3SL model to launch the XM Rock satellite, possibly by 28 February. The Boeing 702 satellites will offer subscribers in the USA 100 channels of digital-quality music and other programming for cars at a monthly subscription of $9.95.
