Выпьем же! Cheers! Kanpai!
First orbit parameters! (presumably from the transfer orbit before the circulation burn)259 x 595 km x 82.43 deg. at epoch 14:34 UTC.
This is presumably the 14S54 third stage (is that the right designation? The Blok-I, anyway).Transfer orbit apogee was at 1325 UTC over the Antarctic; presumably the Volga burn began around that time.

By the way it looks like catalog 39490 to 39494 have been reserved for 2013-78A to 78E, whichwill be Aist, two spheres, the Blok I stage, and the Volga stage with attached adapter.
Congratulations. When can we expect see any pictures or video of the launch?

I meant to say second stage. Hard habit to break, thinking of the Blok I as third stage all these years!I've also seen '132KS' for the first stage?

Artyom, stop teasing us! Please post the actual video!
