In NK n°334 (2010-11), there is a list of all launches of the early warning program, but Cosmos 1940 is not in the list.Is it a mistake, or is there a point that I didn't understand ?
Think this document covers GLONASShttp://doc.gostorgi.ru/7/2010-04-08/740237/1.DOC/ Payload fairing 14S737 for KGU 44S, 46S and K1 to be delivered to Mirny, Arkhangelsk Oblast. 14S737 is the type of fairing used by the Meridian satellite. KGU 45K payload fairing to Tyura-Tam.GLONASS-M 24-46 http://www.rosspending.ru/fk/contract/0025907000269/?year=2006 So five GLONASS-M remaining to be delivered by the end of 2011; which ties in with the above? The latest launch of GLONASS in December was blok 43 with satellites 739, 740 and 741.Also…GLONASS-M 15-20http://www.rosspending.ru/fk/contract/0025907000237/?year=2004GLONASS-M 21-23http://www.rosspending.ru/fk/contract/0025907000261/?year=2005

So "K1" is the first Glonass launch on Soyuz, and "45K" represents the 45th launch on Proton, in this case, the launch is from Baikonur.
“Комета” на Байконуре не была подорвана системой АПО, которая была незадействована, дабы избежать аварии, происшедшей при одном из последних запусков КА данного типа, когда прошла команда на подрыв аппарата вместо команды на отделение третьей ступени.
In NK n°127, in the article about the Soyuz failure of 14th may 1996, it is written :Quote“Комета” на Байконуре не была подорвана системой АПО, которая была незадействована, дабы избежать аварии, происшедшей при одном из последних запусков КА данного типа, когда прошла команда на подрыв аппарата вместо команды на отделение третьей ступени.I don't find any mention of such an incident in the Kometa launch archives. Someone can help ?
The two failures listed in 1996 (May 14 and June 20) were due to a manufacturing defect with the fairing release mechanism. Since the fairings for the two flights were manufactured in a batch, the same defect was repeated on both fairings. The cause was identified, other fairings in the batch were repaired, and corrective actions were taken to ensure that this defect was not repeated. These failures were the only two in 195 Soyuz family launches, going back to 1990. Since these failures, Soyuz family LVs have been launched sucessfully 58 consecutive times through December 31, 2000.

Does anyone know the soviet designation of Kosmos-1940?
