Talk:Minotaur (rocket family)

I'm not so sure it's true that, "Due to US laws prohibiting the sale of Government equipment, Minotaur rockets are only used to launch satellites for the US Government, and are not available to commercial customers." The Minotaur I rocket that will launch TacSat-3 for the USAF is also reportedly carrying "two secondary payloads including research satellites for the public and private sectors." (http://www.mdcoastdispatch.com/article.php?cid=18&id=6038) So maybe the claim (that Minotaur rockets can only carry US government payloads) warrants a citation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AiNewsDesk (talk • contribs) 20:40, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The secondary payloads for the TacSat launch are all being launched for NASA. I don't full understand their programme, but some of the projects are either being run by universities for NASA, or vice versa. Either way NASA is involved with all secondary payloads, and is also providing integration for them. -- G W … 21:37, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

New launch and record to add

 * That record is only likely to stand for 30 hours; a Russian launch tomorrow morning will be carrying 32. -- W.  D.   Graham  14:03, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
