MOSCOW (AFP): Russia is to put a Indonesian communication satellite in orbit on Feb. 12 after pushing back its launch several times because of technical problems, the ITAR-TASS news agency reported Tuesday, citing the Russian Space Agency.

The US-made satellite, which had originally been scheduled for a lift-off last October, will be launched from Baikonur in Kazakhstan using Russia's Proton-K rocket.
