Oct. 10, 2022
In the Arkhangelsk region on Monday, October 10, 2022, 05:52 Moscow time, from the State Test Cosmodrome of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation (Plesetsk Cosmodrome), combat crews of the Space Forces of the Aerospace Forces successfully launched a Soyuz-2.1b medium-class launch vehicle with the Glonass-K spacecraft. The launch of the carrier rocket and the launch of the spacecraft into the calculated orbit took place in the normal mode.
Two minutes after launch, the Soyuz-2 launch vehicle was accompanied by ground controls from the German Titov Main Test Space Center.
At the estimated time, the spacecraft was launched into the target orbit and accepted for control of the ground facilities of the Space Forces of the Aerospace Forces. A stable telemetry connection has been established and maintained with the spacecraft, its onboard systems are operating in the normal mode.
After the spacecraft was launched into orbit, officers of the Main Space Intelligence Center of the Space Forces of the Aerospace Forces entered information about it into the main catalog of space objects of the Russian space control system and began to analyze and process information about the new space object.
Glonass-K navigation satellite
In total, more than 40 ground measuring instruments and over 70 combat crews of the 15th Army of the Aerospace Special Forces were involved in ensuring the launch of the spacecraft of the Russian Ministry of Defense.
