The Russians mounted the satellite into a DM -03 booster which completed the journey after separation from Proton-M rocket ; this trick made it possible for Express AM8 to reach the geostationary orbit in less than 48 hrs. and reduced the launch mass to 2.1 tons only ; due to less fuel requirement .
