Soyuz-2.1b launch vehicle with satellites launched from Plesetsk cosmodrome

The Russian space forces launched a Soyuz-2.1b carrier rocket with three Gonets-M satellites on board. The rocket was launched from the Plesetsk cosmodrome. This is reported by the Ministry of Defense.

It is noted that the launch was made at 14:20 Moscow time. time from the launcher No. 3 of the site No. 43 of the cosmodrome of the Russian Ministry of Defense Plesetsk in the Arkhangelsk region. The rocket was launched normally.

The Soyuz-2.1b carrier rocket was launched with the Gonets-M communication spacecraft (SC) unit and the associated payload consisting of 19 small spacecraft

- said in a statement.

The military department noted that this launch of the Gonets-M satellites on the Soyuz-2.1b carrier rocket is the first in stories, earlier the satellites were launched into orbit by the Rokot launch vehicles.

On September 12 this year, the Russian government allowed the use of the military infrastructure to launch the Gonets-M spacecraft into orbit, and the corresponding decree was signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.

The satellites to be launched should be part of the Gonets-D1M global low-orbit satellite system, which is designed to provide communication and data transmission in remote and hard-to-reach areas, including the Far North.

Good luck with launching into orbit!

The Union takes out three times more cargo than the Roar.

More precisely, in LEO (low Earth orbit) by 3,83 times! And it is four orders of magnitude cheaper for 1 kg of cargo to be taken out, with practically the same launch cost.

And time-tested, unlike Mask's crafts.

Good luck.

I hope I will live to see the moment when such launches will be such an ordinary event that they will no longer write about it in the news ... it's a shame for humanity. All sorts of iPhones and tick-tocks are orders of magnitude more popular than science and progress.

Where did these iPhones come from?
The result of that very science. Progress in the clearest possible way.

They don't write much even now. In China and the United States, they launch more than once every two weeks. Falcon 9 should fly today at 17.

Well, let's go to space. Messengers were sent. Perhaps I will note this case.

Plus three satellites of domestic satellite communications in orbit - that's good. Maybe all the launches to the military again? Well, this Roscosmos .. Let the interplanetary tugs create and so on .., and let the military launch everything .. And give them the Vostochny along with funding - you look and finish building ..

At the same time, the budgets should be strictly supervised from several "towers".
The military are people too.

Construction at the Vostochny cosmodrome is now being carried out by civil construction organizations. Military builders were just stealing earlier.

Happy flight to them

and let them accompany, so long as they don't get into the issues of ensuring the start

Yes ? Well there is hope for success

Construction at the Vostochny cosmodrome is being carried out by civil construction organizations.

That sucks - what a year of promises and sometimes planting of unshared ones. Maybe the military will finish it faster?

[slipped]

Quote: KVU-NSVD

if only they did not get into the issues of providing the start

They are also involved in launch support - both the rocket and the upper stage were manufactured at the enterprises of Roscosmos, respectively, the support of the plant workers goes on at all stages of the launch.

What are the promises? Launches from the cosmodrome have been carried out since 2016. Just landing were the leadership of military builders and their subcontractors. who were engaged in the construction of the first stage. The second stage is now being built ahead of schedule.

Do you see the difference?))))
Everything is not simple, but very complicated.
And the specialists providing the launch are essentially the same.
Not to mention the manufacturer

It's complicated,

It's simple, I see a difference in recent years with the accident rate of launches from Roscosmos and from the military from Plesetsk. No matter how the message from Plesetsk is, everything is regular, just like about other starts - you immediately get tense ..

Firstly, there were, and secondly, the military did not have them. In Russia, the main programs are best trusted by the military. They also steal, of course, but the result is given with the appropriate input ..

Did not have. The last launch accident happened on October 11, 2018. Then, due to improper assembly of the Soyuz-FG first-stage package, Soyuz MS-10 did not enter orbit.

Everyone sees what he wants. Well ... see further ...

I say - to hand over everything to the military - although they steal there, they do not ignore the central control, but bring the tasks to mind.

[Shuttle]

That's strange. The civilian Falcon, the engineer and the inventor, Elon Musk, throws with great fanfare the civilian communication satellites StarLink. At the same time, it is not NASA that bladoares him, but the Pentagon.
At the same time, quietly and casually, without fanfare and pathos, ours are also creating a network of satellites in orbit. At the same time, the civilian Roscosmos is already using the military infrastructure for civilian purposes.
At the same time, common people accuse Russia of militarizing outer space. Paradox!

[zwlad]

Well, at least someone in Russia takes off.
Let's hope it's successful!

Russia also takes off. The next launch is the launch of the Soyuz MS-17 spacecraft, the cosmonauts and the astronaut have already arrived at Baikonur:
