Russia"s Rocket and Space Corporation Energia announced on Wednesday that a U.S. court had preliminarily approved the deal between the EOL, Energia"s subsidiary, and Sea Launch on April 27, Vedomosti said.

The company refused to specify on where the money for Sea Launch would come from, the paper said. The company produces the upper stages for Russia"s Zenit-3SL carrier rocket.

Energia holds a 25% stake in the Sea Launch consortium created in 1995. Boeing holds 40% in the project, with a 20% stake belonging to Norwegian company Aker ASA and 15% to Ukraine"s SDO Yuzhnoye/PO Yuzhmash.

The launch platform and the command ship are based in California, with rocket launches being carried out from an equatorial area in the Pacific Ocean. A total of 33 rockets have been launched from the platform since 1999, with 30 of them being successful.

Sea Launch announced its bankruptcy in June 2009. The company"s debt is estimated at $1 billion, and its assets at $100-500

MOSCOW, May 7 (RIA Novosti) - Russia is joining as a third party in hearings being held by the European Court of Human Rights over an appeal filed by a World War II veteran against Latvia, the presidential press office said Sunday. Vassily Kononov, a Russian World War II partisan, was convicted by Latvian authorities of war crimes for ordering the killing of several Nazi collaborators in 1944 when Latvia was occupied by German troops. Kononov was sentenced to 20 months of imprisonment but was freed as he had served his term in pre-trial detention. Russia"s envoy to the European Court of Human Rights Pavel Laptev sent a relevant memorandum to the court saying Russia was joining the Kononov versus Latvia case as a third party. Laptev also raised the issue of considering the case as a matter of priority, taking into account Kononov"s age. Kononov was born in 1923 and currently lives in Riga, the capital of Latvia.
