GLONASS-K1 | Soyuz 2.1b/Fregat
Russia is launching one of its GLONASS global positioning satellites to medium Earth orbit. It's going up on a Soyuz 2.1b rocket, from Plesetsk Cosmodrome, in the Archangel region of North West Russia. Soyuz has been the workhorse of the Soviet/Russian space program. The first launch of the Soyuz 2-1a version on November 8, 2004 from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome represented a major step in the Soyuz launch vehicle’s development program. Fregat is the upper (4th) stage of Soyuz 2.1, and it first flew in the year 2000.
Soyuz MS-17 | Soyuz 2.1a
Cosmonauts Sergey Ryzhikov and Sergey Kud-Sverchkov, and NASA astronaut Kathleen Rubins are launching from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. They are traveling to Low Earth Orbit for rendezvous with the International Space Station (ISS). This crew will form Expedition 64 on the ISS and will be joined two weeks later by SpaceX' Crew 1 flight raising the crew complement to 7.

The automated Progress MS-14 spacecraft will fly to the International Space Station on a Soyuz 2.1a rocket in late April 2020. This Roscosmos ISS resupply mission will launch from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
Soyuz MS-16 | Soyuz 2.1a
A maiden flight of sorts. This is the first Soyuz 2.1a rocket to carry humans into space. It will transport the crewed Soyuz MS-16 spacecraft to the International Space Station. The crew consists of Russian cosmonauts Anatoli Ivanishin and Ivan Vagner, and NASA Astronaut Christopher Cassidy. They will complement the crew of Expedition 62 and continue its work with Expedition 63.
OneWeb 3 | Soyuz 2.1b/Fregat-M
OneWeb is launching 34 of its global communication satellites to a 1,200 km polar orbit on a Soyuz rocket. Introduced in 1966, Soyuz has been the workhorse of the Soviet/Russian space program. The first launch of the Soyuz 2-1a version on November 8, 2004 from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome represented a major step in the Soyuz launch vehicle’s development program.
