VIDEO: Soyuz rolls to Baikonur launch pad

Globalstar's next six communications satellites will ride a Soyuz rocket and Fregat upper stage into orbit Wednesday. Liftoff from the Baikonur Cosmodrome is set for 1604 GMT (11:04 a.m. EST).

This imagery shows the Soyuz rocket rolling to Baikonur's snowy launch pad Saturday before it was lifted vertical in position for liftoff.
