Is there any official photo galleries about this launch? How about flight profile graphs etc? I have tried to find those but so far I have been unsuccessful.
How many satellites from GLONASS system is currently working in space?
Launch is about one hour from now, is anyone getting the Tsenki webcasts?
Nice single cam shot from launch through to staging.
If everything goes according to plan, the satellites will have the Cosmos 2459, Cosmos 2460 and Cosmos 2461 designations.
