Are the payloads at the cosmodrome already? What tests needs to be done before launch?

Does this means that it is still on track for launch on Dec. 12?

I've gotten fuzzy on the details again, or exactly what changes have happened...is this launch powered by a refurbished NK-33 engine?  Or is the first stage already using an RD-193?

And are they really trying to call it the Soyuz-1?  Seems like that would be hard to pull off since it follows -2.1a, -2.1b.  Maybe they should tack on digits, and make it the -2.1.3a.  :)

Or take a page from Apple, and just call it "Soyuz" and let the poor confused masses struggle to come up with identification schemes, like "2013 edition" or codename "Kuznetsov's Revenge" or "Uni-Core."

It uses refurbished NK-33.

The name of this launcher is Soyuz-2.1v. "V" is the third letter in Cyrillic alphabet, so it is quite logical since this launcher is the thirs version of the Soyuz-2.1.

As per NK forum, "Volga" upper stage is being fueled. Looks like it's actually going to fly :)

Hope the Russian government will open up the videos on this launch.   Many of us have interest in it.  ;)

It is an orbit for the first Aist, which has flown with Bion-M.

ПОДРОБНО
Принято решение о проведении II этапа КИ с РКН «Союз-2-1в» на стартовый комплекс
18 декабря 2013

17 декабря 2013 года состоялось заседание Государственной комиссии о проведении II этапа КИ с РКН «Союз-2-1в» производства ГНПРКЦ «ЦСКБ-Прогресс» на стартовом комплексе.

На заседании были рассмотрены результаты испытаний на техническом комплексе ракеты космического назначения (РКН) «Союз-2-1в» с блоком выведения «Волга», предназначенной для выведения на орбиту малого космического аппарата «Аист» и калибровочных сфер.

Заслушав доклады руководителей работ, Государственная комиссия приняла решение о готовности РКН «Союз-2-1в» к вывозу на стартовый комплекс.

Для справки:

Двухступенчатая ракета-носитель легкого класса «Союз-2-1в» и блок выведения «Волга» разрабатываются и производятся в Центре «ЦСКБ-Прогресс» (г. Самара).

Новая ракета сможет обеспечивать выведение полезной нагрузки массой до 2,8 тонн на низкую околоземную орбиту, а с использованием БВ «Волга» – до 1,4 тонн на солнечно-синхронную орбиту. В запуске задействована большая кооперация российских промышленных предприятий и комплекс технических средств, расположенный на территории РФ.

Пусковая кампания РН с БВ «Волга» запланирована на 23 декабря 2013 года. Новый носитель выведет на орбиту калибровочные сферы и опытный образец малого космического аппарата «Аист», совместный проект ракетно-космического Центра и Самарского государственного аэрокосмического университета. Также лётные испытания включают в себя целый комплекс отработки всей системы эксплуатации: вопросы метрологии, экологической безопасности, электромагнитной совместимости систем РН, отработки эксплуатационной документации и др.

En détail
Décidé de procéder à la phase II des essais avec ILV "Soyouz-2-1v" sur rampe de lancement
18 décembre 2013

17 décembre 2013 une réunion de la Commission d'État sur les essais cliniques de phase II avec ILV "Soyouz-2-1v" SRP de production "Samara Space Center" à l'ensemble de lancement.

La réunion a examiné les résultats des tests sur les missiles de l'installation de traitement (ILV) "Soyouz-2-1v" avec l'enlèvement de bloc "Volga", destinée à lancer en orbite un petit vaisseau spatial "Cigogne" et de mesurer les champs.

Après avoir entendu les rapports des superviseurs, la Commission d'État a décidé de préparation ILV "Soyouz-2-1v" à l'exportation vers la rampe de lancement.

Pour référence:

La fusée à deux étages de la classe lumière "Soyouz-2-1v" et le retrait du bloc «Volga» sont conçus et fabriqués dans le centre "TsSKB Progress» (Samara).

Le nouveau missile sera en mesure de fournir l'excrétion charge pesant jusqu'à 2,8 tonnes en orbite basse de la Terre, et en utilisant maladie de von Willebrand "Volga" - jusqu'à 1,4 tonnes de orbite héliosynchrone. Lors de son lancement en cause une grande coopération industrielle russe et complexe de matériel, situé sur le territoire de la Fédération de Russie.

Lanceur campagne RN avec BV «Volga» est prévue pour le 23 Décembre 2013. Le nouveau transporteur mettra en orbite sphère d'étalonnage et des prototypes de petits satellites "Cigogne", un projet conjoint de Rocket and Space Center et l'Université aérospatiale d'État de Samara. Les essais en vol comprennent également une exploitation minière complexe de l'ensemble du système: problèmes de métrologie, sécurité de l'environnement, la compatibilité électromagnétique de RN, la documentation opérationnelle de l'exploitation minière, etc

DETAIL
Decided to conduct phase II trials with ILV "Soyuz-2-1v" on launch pad
18 December 2013

December 17, 2013 a meeting of the State Commission on phase II clinical trials with ILV "Soyuz-2-1v" production SRP "Samara Space Center" at the launch complex.

The meeting discussed the results of the tests at the processing facility missiles (ILV) "Soyuz-2-1v" with block removal "Volga", intended for launching into orbit a small spacecraft "Stork" and gauge fields.

After hearing reports of supervisors, the State Commission decided readiness ILV "Soyuz-2-1v" for export to the launch pad.

For reference:

The two-stage rocket of light class "Soyuz-2-1v" and block removal "Volga" are designed and manufactured in the Center "TsSKB Progress" (Samara).

The new missile will be able to provide excretion payload weighing up to 2.8 tonnes into low Earth orbit, and using VWD "Volga" - up to 1.4 tonnes of sun-synchronous orbit. At launch involved a large Russian industrial cooperation and hardware complex, located on the territory of the Russian Federation.

Launcher campaign RN with BV "Volga" is scheduled for December 23, 2013. The new carrier will orbit calibration sphere and prototype small spacecraft "Stork", a joint project of Rocket and Space Center and Samara State Aerospace University. Flight tests also include a complex mining operation of the entire system: metrology issues, environmental safety, electromagnetic compatibility of RN, mining operational documentation, etc.
