Gazcom will orbit two new Yamal-300 satellites in the first half of 2009, the telecommunications arm of Russia's energy giant Gazprom said Wednesday.

In line with its commitments under a contract with satellite supplier Rocket and Space Corporation Energia, as of the end of 2007, Gascom has paid around 50% of the project fees.

Gazcom currently has three Yamal telecommunication satellites, designed and built jointly with the Energia Corporation.
