A Boeing Sea Launch booster carried the XM Satellite Radio company's Roll satellite into geostationary transfer orbit from the equatorial Pacific-based launch platform Odyssey on 8 May.
The 18kW (24hp) Boeing 702 satellite joins Rock, which was launched on a Sea Launch on 18 March, to provide 100 channels of digital-quality music, news and information to Alcatel-built XM radios in cars across the USA.
