On 25 October, a Proton-K with a DM-2 upper stage will launch three GLONASS satellites.

Is this going to be the last Proton-K? I can't find any more on schedules. Even the launches that have been left to the 'K for the last few years, such as GLONASS (except one launch in 2003), seem to have transferred to the 'M after this launch. Are there any flights left?

Will this flight go ahead now? I.e, is the K version different enough from the M one?

Presumably, it will be delayed. I posted this before JCSAT launched.

No, I think... There should be Proton-K launches with Russian military satellites...

Proton-K 410-13, 410-14 and 410-16 are for military launches (and can remain in storage for five years)

410-17 and 410-18 are for GLONASS (planned for October and December 2007)

I thought the December launch was a Proton-M.

www.federalspace.ru/PlanQuart.asp of November 2005 (a year before that post) GLONASS and KazSat swapped launchers, because KazSat was delayed.
410-11 GLONASS 2005
410-12 KazSat

According to http://arms-tass.su/?page=article&aid=46768&cid=125 (in Russian), the permission was gotten today... But the launch was delayed to October 26 due to tomorrow's celebrating of Day of Kazakhstan Republic... The new launch time is 07:35:24 UTC...

The covers over the upper stage / payload - thermal, or security?

Proton-K launches three GLONASS sats:

From RIA-Novosti (In english): Russia launches Proton carrier rocket after the ban.

From ITAR-TASS (in english): GLONASS satellites heading to orbit.

From Roscosmos (in russian).

The sats have separated on time and as expected at 1107UTC from the Block DM-2.

They got the Kosmos 2431, Kosmos 2432 and Kosmos 2433 designations.

On Novosti Kosmonavtiki it was more a question. My russian not good.

This looks like the Khrunichev comercial fairing, think it is 813INT (look for pictures Of Integral on ESA website) also used for last GLONASS launch in 2006.

Zenit-3M/SLB  is to use the 17C72 (17S72) fairing. That fairing is white with grey tip. Used on Yamal launches, Mars-8 and Arkon. Seperation plane is further up.

GLONASS-M n°718 had been put off the GLONASS network already on 29th november 2010, so it will not change anything...

On 25 October, a Proton-K with a DM-2 upper stage will launch three GLONASS satellites.

Is this going to be the last Proton-K? I can't find any more on schedules. Even the launches that have been left to the 'K for the last few years, such as GLONASS (except one launch in 2003), seem to have transferred to the 'M after this launch. Are there any flights left?

At what time will it launch?
