Launch of the RKN Proton-M spacecraft KazSat-3 and Luch-5B
After separation of satellites from the third stage of the launch vehicle orbital assembly comprising RB Breeze-M and spacecraft Luch-5B and KazSat-3 continues to autonomous flight. After the travel of the spacecraft to the target orbit at the expense of the propulsion system booster. Estimated time of separation of the spacecraft Luch-5B from the RB - at 17:17 MSK, SC KazSat-3 - 17:57 MSK April 28.
Spacecraft Luch-5B - the third satellite relay multifunctional space system Ray created under the Federal Space Program of Russia for 2006-2015. Retransmission system Ray is designed to provide communication of the Russian segment of the International Space Station, LEO spacecraft, rockets, boosters with ground stations. The first two satellites series Ray was successfully launched in December 2011 and November 2012.
