Gonets-M33, Gonets-M34, Gonets-M35 & Skif-D | Soyuz 2.1b/Fregat-M
Roscosmos is launching several Goniets-M communications satellites to a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) along with a Skif-D satellite to a Medium Earth Orbit (MEO), on a Soyuz 2.1b rocket featuring the optional Fregat-M final stage. It will launch from Vostochny Cosmodrome, in Far East Russia.
This particular Soyuz rocket is using a relatively new fuel type on all of its booster stages. Instead of the conventional RP-1 kerosene-based fuel, it will use "naphthyl", also known as RG-1. This is a move that is currently only planned for launches from the Vostochny Cosmodrome.
Glonass-K1 No. 17 | 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.
