Dish Network Second Satellite Launch Successful

Yesterday morning, Dish Network successfully launched their second satellite of the year. Their first satellite launch earlier this year failed to reach its proper orbit, which made this second release critically important to the future success of their HD programming capabilities. Dish Network released the satellites in order to expand their capacity to carry more HD channels, a necessary move to compete with other pay-tv providers who are rapidly expanding their HD lineup. A third satellite launch is scheduled for later this year.
