A heavy satellite ... It is clearly not intended for communication! The more such things we launch into space, the more comfortable it is to communicate with "partners" ...

[tanit]

For communication. The slogan on the poster at the former gate of the former military unit 03690 (1111 CSS)
"Without communication, there is no control. Without control, there is no victory."

A good and necessary very slogan ..! But on electronics it’s better not to get too full, if something happens .. I hope the Morse code is still taught to officers at a minimum ...?

Strange hope About a minimum. Although about the "now", I will not say.

[AVGUST]

That's right, as many good and different satellites as possible, keep it up!

[Logall]

I live in the suburbs. Himself terrified. But is the satellite to blame?

[Anglorussian]

And where are the horrors of a crumbling industry? What now to write to the censor?

[St Petrov]

and there aren’t enough jokes about Sechin and Medvedev either (well, nothing nepolyvtsy will now run =]

and about pensions and roads we still read

[Nasrat]

Especially about the roads ... I pave the route to work (from work) on Yandex in the morning (and evening) ... - repair work is going on everywhere !!! Asphalt is laid at a gigantic pace!

[bk316]

repair work is going on everywhere

I don’t understand, by the day of the city, I’m in a rush, but somehow they got sick.
Well at least tomorrow in the car and on vacation on the Volga.

It is known that. Putin is to blame for underdevelopment. And especially in growth.

Specialists, or in simple words on the fingers, what functions we will add (improve) with this heavy companion

With this HEAVY companion? The satellite is designed for high-speed data transmission, television and radio programs, telephone and video conferencing, access to the global computer network. Command and control will improve.

And if you, as cd economics hint at its weight, then you can’t shove the uncanny Imagine no where and no one in the world.

You have humor .. As a layman, I understand that putting a unit of weight into orbit is quite expensive! And here it is indicated that the HEAVY satellite. Therefore, we are talking about something unconventional and very important. In any case, I understand that. Maybe I'm wrong ... Therefore, I asked experts what can be told without state secrets

Thank you for your reply!

What can I say to spiteful critics and space x-lovers. Heavy rockets are a special chic. Two Protons, one Ariana and not one Delta

and 11 Falcon-9 plus 8 planned. This is generally a disaster for the commercial use of Protons.

But nothing that this Proton and the satellite on it - in the article - was in the interests of the Russian Defense Ministry? And so, yes, we all die.

about that and speech. Commercial launches pressed Musk. Now Proton will be launched a couple of times a year with purely military loads and that’s it. Leadership is over.

Oh, oh? I repeat the launches of heavy missiles are not equal to the average. Here my friend orbit is not cheat mask

I don’t know what you have there for Chita, but the load-bearing characteristics of these missiles are almost identical:
- carrying capacity of "Proton-M" - 22,4 tons (low reference orbit).
- carrying capacity of Falcon-9 - 22,8 tons (in low reference orbit).

[Tusv]

Do not talk nonsense. Little Mask will tell you. Musk does not reach heavy.

Do they launch something from Vostochny?

And what trouble is it for you? Israel has its own spaceport. A lot of things have been launched this year? Share the joy of victory. And how the First Cosmonaut of Israel died (to him - a blessed memory) - tell us. Do not be shy.

[Tusv]

Israel dofiga kosmotdromov. Bend your fingers. Cape Kanareval, Baykankur. Incidentally, the 94th region of the Russian Federation. Kuru - one starting table. Plesetsk do not touch. This is our fso.
