It has assets of $100-500 million, and debts of $500 million to $1 billion. Here's the Spaceflight Now version of the story. It cites debts of up to $2 billion: http://www.spaceflightnow.com/news/n0906/24sealaunch/ APparently, the immediate reason for the bankruptcy filing was that Sea Launch was supposed to repay a deposit (plus interest) to Hughes Network Systems. Hughes shifter its payload from Sea Launch to an Ariana 5 rocket after the 2007 Sea Launch failure. Sea Launch's Laund Launch division was cited just a few days ago, for the successful launch from Baikonur of a Malaysian communications satellite. http://www.spaceflightnow.com/news/n0906/21measat3a/ Craig Milo Rogers
