The Fregat accelerating unit with two Russian Canopus-V remote sensing satellites and nine foreign small devices separated from the third stage of the Soyuz-2.1 rocket during the third launch from the Vostochny space center, RIA News.



Launch vehicle launched in 5: 07 Moscow time.

There is a separation of the upper stage from the third stage of the launch vehicle,
said the announcer on the launch pad.

“Canopuses” were put into a calculated orbit with a height of about 510 kilometers in 6: 12 Moscow time. In 7: 50, all 11 satellites are in orbit.

The third launch of the Soyuz from the Vostochny space center was planned from 22 December last year, "however, after the unsuccessful second launch of the Russian meteorological satellite Meteor-M and 18 of small vehicles was lost, the third start from the new Russian space center was postponed to an unspecified date “, Reminds agency.

After identifying the causes of the accident - the imperfections of the control algorithms for the rocket and the upper stage - it was decided to postpone the third launch “for” 25 on January 2018 of the year. At the very end of December, Roscosmos clarified that the launch of the rocket is scheduled for the first of February.

        Prayer and total inspection: Before the launch, the head of Roscosmos Igor Komarov personally inspected the facilities of the launch and technical complexes of the cosmodrome. "Komarov took part in a meeting on readiness for launching the ground and space infrastructure of the Soyuz-2.1a rocket, - reported in the press service of the state corporation. The prayer was held by Priest Evgeni Polyakov, rector of the Kazan Church of the City of Tsiolkovsky. "It is always held at the invitation of Roscosmos. This tradition goes back from Baikonur - a prayer service is held for employees in a responsible matter, a church blessing is given for work," - said the press secretary of the Diocese of Annunciation for RIA News.

              The new Soyuz-2.1a rocket was launched using new fuel
              The rocket flew on a completely new fuel - naphthyl, an environmentally friendly type of hydrocarbon fuel using polymer additives.
              The use of naphthyl will allow the family of three-stage medium-class launch vehicles to bring more payload to all types of orbits than when using a chemical rocket engine, which is based on an oxygen-kerosene pair.

        A successful start should be the norm.
        I can guess why there is no serious showdown with criminal cases.
        The customer hires a contractor (for the kickbacks from which most of the customer’s management feeds) to carry out the work. The general contractor of other contractors, other others, and so on, has not yet reached extremely low salaries for a direct producer of jobs with low qualifications and zero liability.
        It seems that the general contractor should be responsible for everything, but he also “feeds” a lot of people from the customer giving kickbacks and bribes.
        It turns out that it is not profitable for the customer to launch the head of the owner of the "nursing" hands on the flight, since not only will there be no one to feed, but the main thing for the contractor can not stand the nerves and the feeding scheme can be disclosed.
        We in St. Petersburg have this scheme at every turn.

      ROSKOSMOS. AMERICAN AND GERMAN SMALL SPACE VEHICLES ORBITED
      01.02.2018 08:57
      In accordance with the flight program, the Frigate upper stage launched spacecraft of the main and associated load into the Earth’s orbit. Upon completion of the flight program, the Frigate booster block will be flooded in the non-navigational region of the Pacific Ocean. Entrance of the upper stage to the atmosphere of the planet is planned at an altitude of 100 km, approximately in 10: 34 Moscow time.

      The S-Net, Lemur, and D-Star One spacecraft, launched as a side payload under the contracts of Glavkosmos OJSC, were regularly separated from the Frigate upper stage from 07: 33 to 07: 50 Moscow time. All launch vehicles of ROSKOSMOS - the Soyuz-2.1 launch vehicle (Progress RCC) and the Fregat upper stage (produced by NPO Lavochkina) - worked without comment. Further management of small spacecraft will be carried out by launch customers.

      S-NET spacecraft are designed to demonstrate inter-satellite communication technology in a dedicated network of four nanosatellite data. The manufacturer and end user of each S-NET spacecraft is the Berlin Technical University.

      LEMUR spacecraft are designed to monitor the movement of ships by receiving signals from the automatic ship recognition system, weather forecast based on radio occultation measurements of GPS signals (GPS-RO), aircraft monitoring by automatic dependent surveillance-broadcasting (ADS-B) for peaceful purposes. The manufacturer and end user of LEMUR satellites is SpireGlobal, Inc., an American company.

      The D-StarOne spacecraft is designed to test a new satellite platform with a transceiver for the amateur radio service D-Star. The manufacturer and end user of the D-StarOne satellite is the German company Orbital Systems GmbH (GermanOrbitalSystems GmbH).

      This is the first launch this year. The Chinese have already launched 5 rockets (1 commercial, 1 demonstrator and development, 1 with Beidu China GPS satellites and 2 Earth observation). Musk launched 2 rockets (the Zuma file and the rocket assembled from used components yesterday brought the load off - but not without landing problems - however, Musk is already tweeting that they will catch the rocket and see what can be done). In total, the United States launched 4 rockets from the beginning of the year - Atlas and Delta with military satellites left normally.


      New Zealand launched another Electron - 4 small satellite, all fully standard. Electron is gradually becoming a normal rocket, which will take away the commercial burden, including among the Unions.

      The Hindus launched another shuttle bus of death PSLV + 28 units of space debris. But everything is normal.

      The Japanese launched another Epsilon - with a surveillance satellite.

      ESA launched Arian - but there is a file with software trying to save satellites in orbit.

      If anything last year:

    Congratulations to Roskosmos. Now things will probably go: according to the plan, they should start every month. Musk nervously smokes aside.

        Made 2 starts, both of which ended in a fail. One lost the satellite, while the other could not sit down. And the man spoke about the starts from the East, and not at all.

          1. The loss of the satellite is not confirmed.

            When the creator of the satellite is silent, it means the loss is confirmed. And let's go on the other side - where is the confirmation that the satellite has been put into orbit?

              The creator of the satellite is not silent, but said that he could not comment on secret launches.
              And confirmation, this is a congratulation on the successful launch of 45 US space wing.
              Congratulations Sharks & @SpaceX! What an incredible way to start off 2018 w / the world's 1st successful launch and landing of this year

                This congratulation was made almost immediately after launch. When nothing was known yet. And what’s secret to say, the satellite was put into orbit, everything went smoothly? For some reason they were not afraid to confirm other secret companions.

                  So confirmed as well as Zuma, congratulations immediately after launch and for now.
                  I’m not saying that the news agencies claiming the death of Zuma contradict each other, at one Zuma at the bottom of the sea, at another in orbit a corpse flies.

            sorry
            sorry to hear.
            at least put a candle.
            and change the flag: when there was a "stars_on_matrasa" your body movements at least could be understood - problems in the new homeland. but now...
            You see the Russian flag somehow wildly - you live there and you defecate here. Is your head spinning?

    And don’t talk. smokes nervously. What is left for him to do. The next launch from Vostochny will be very soon, in December this year. And so - where can he keep up with us. In February, we planned another launch, from Baikonur, and he has some unfortunate 4 launches. In March we are 2, he is only 3 ... Well, etc. at least put a smiley face so that it can be seen that this is sarcasm. And then after all there are those who will believe in what you wrote

    everything else in one way or another can be launched and is launched from Plesetsk

    Since Soviet times, Plesetsk is the most operating spaceport in the world.

    Yes. Moreover, if we put an end to Baikonur, but we should have a more pragmatic approach to choosing a place and to intensify the construction of the cosmodrome. In reality, there is only one start and that's it. Moreover, relations with Kazakhstan regarding Baikonur are now improving. They created the cosmodrome (more precisely, its ersatz) not south of Baikonur, as it should have been logically, but north. Which is not profitable from the point of view.

    The creators of the satellites have long ago confirmed the launch: “... At the estimated time, the spacecraft were put into the target orbit, separated from the Frigate upper stage and taken over for control. In accordance with the operation sequence diagram, the solar panels were opened in automatic mode. The satellites were oriented and stabilized. " http://vniiem.ru/en/index.php?option=com_content&

    Old26 you forgot about February from Plesetsk))). And in March there were four launches, including with Kourou.

    February 11 - Progress MC-08
    February 28 - Space
    March 1 - Orb3
    March 15 - Union MS-08
    March 22 - Space
    March 26 - Sentinel-3B

    You know, I didn’t. You opened my eyes right after all. I, like, thought that from
    • 21 launches in 2017 in October-December were carried out 6
    • 19 launches in 2016 in October-December were carried out 3
    • 29 launches in 2015 in October-December were carried out 10
    • 36 launches in 2014 in October-December were carried out 12
    • 33 launches in 2013 in October-December were carried out 11
    So in your opinion 6 out of 21, 3 out of 19, 10 out of 29, 12 out of 36, 11 out of 33 are the majority ?? Or do you have some kind of alternative math, where 6 out of 21 is the majority ????

    Starts from the Kuru are, as it were, not ours. We sold the rockets to the French. If you count the launches of our missiles - you can count. If the Russian launches - Kuru in no way lays down

      Since the statistics of space launches is discussed exclusively in terms of perfection, reliability and economic efficiency of launch vehicles, all foreign launches of Russian launch vehicles (including alliances with Kuru) should be considered as Russian.

    Well, that’s it - he’s a MILITARY spaceport. All our ICBMs are tested from it.
    They created the cosmodrome (more precisely, its ersatz) not south of Baikonur, as it should have been logically, but north. Which is not profitable from the point of view.

    Well, as if in the territory of the Russian Federation there is no point south of Baikonur, suitable for the construction of a cosmodrome. Not at all.
