Russia has confirmed plans to launch a modernized Soyuz rocket from France's Kourou space launch center in French Guiana later this year. The launch, which has been repeatedly postponed, would be the first of 10 contracted in 2008 between the Russian space agency and the French satellite launch firm Arianespace. Parts of two Soyuz-ST rockets, modernized versions of the Soyuz-2 rocket developed specifically for launches from the Kourou space center in South America, were delivered to French Guiana last year.
