Russia launches new military satellite Soyuz-2.1b

On 28 November, a Soyuz-2.1b was launched from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome to deliver the last GLONASS-M satellite, designated Kosmos-2564, into orbit.

It is reported that the launch of the carrier rocket and the launch of the spacecraft into the estimated orbit went normally.

The current launch is the first of two planned launches from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in three days: a secret payload on a Soyuz-2.1a spacecraft is scheduled for Wednesday, 30 November.

As of 26 November 2023, so far 67 launches had previously been conducted, including two failed. The last launch was on 27 October 2023.

For the time being, a stable telemetry link with the spacecraft is established and maintained. The onboard systems of the spacecraft are functioning normally.
