based on some talks there most likely will not be a fourth Kosmos on this flight but probably next since there is an unflown payload at the MIK

Briz-KM originally manufactured to launch Kanopus-V-IK, since moved to Soyuz-2-1A.
Is № 72526 for a Kanopus satelite?
No, Gonets.

So the fifth digit of the serial number indicates that the batch production date of this rocket was 1989?

Is the unflown payload DOSAAF-85? Given the previous Gonets-M triplet launch last year, it appears that it was scheduled to launch with that set, but then not. Link to topic below:

Its launch can occur on any flight that aligns with its predecessor SC's, its just a matter of being made ready for a launch instead of overrunning on processing. there is 50% chance it will be launched otherwise ballast will be in its place on the launcher.

Looks like this launch is almost certain to slip past tomorrow due to "unspecified technical reasons": http://www.militarynews.ru/story.asp?rid=1&nid=368274 (http://www.militarynews.ru/story.asp?rid=1&nid=368274)

According to http://tass.ru/kosmos/1806760 (http://tass.ru/kosmos/1806760) it's a first stage engine problem that needs inspection. The rocket was rolled back to the HIF.
I wonder if this is related to what seems to be a UR-100N failure during a hypersonic reentry test launched from Dombarovskiy on February 26 (http://thedragonstales.blogspot.com/2015/03/russian-project-4202-boost-glide.html)?

I assumed! ;D But I'd look a fool if I simply didn't check.
So let's all wait to hear if this one launches on time!
-
Early Rokots have flown with Briz-K upper stage, also there were plans of Briz-KS use with Rokots.

Hmm did I read right? The link in my last post seems to have quoted the VKO spokesperson that there's a military satellite carried along with the Gonets trio? :-X

They have all been launched around the same time of the year and mainly into the same plane.

Eighth orbital launch in six days. Four of them were Navsat launches. Navsat season I suppose. Maybe something about the period of vernal equinox.

Thanks. The first one carried out various manoeuvres once on orbit, but I never saw whether the second one followed the same course of action and is the first still manoeuvring today. The last I saw on Russian Space Web was references from late January this year to further manoeuvres.

TLEs out for three payloads and the Briz-M - nothing yet for a putative 4th payload.
Briz-M in 1170 x 1504 km disposal orbit, rest in 1494 x 1506 km, so looks like mission success for the Gonets and Briz.
I recall that Kosmos-2499 took a while to be discovered and cataloged.
-
Per http://www.iss-reshetnev.ru/media/news/news-260115 (the new URL for the news item from Jan mentioned above)
these are «Гонец-М» №№21, 22, 23
- at least I assume the ones sent to the cosmodrome in Jan are the ones launched today.

A fifth object has been catalogued in an orbit close to that of object D (could be Kosmos-2504 in an orbit close to that of Briz-KM)
2015-020E/40556 in 1172 x 1506 km x 82.49°
-
The object currently classified as 40555/2015-020D is transmitting at the same radio frequency as COSMOS-2491 and COSMOS-2499. It is highly likely that 40555/2015-020D is COSMOS-2504.
-
Kosmos-2504 has begun manuevers in orbit.
On Apr 9 the orbit was raised by about 3 km. Further changes continued on Apr 13-14.
-
There appears to have been a rendezvous between Kosmos-2504 and the Briz-KM upper stage around April 16, with the Briz-KM eventually ending up in a higher orbit.
Here's an update on the website of Anatoly Zak, who speculates there may have been some kind of physical contact between the two objects.

As noted by Anatoliy and Igor in other forums, Kosmos-2504 made a major orbit change on Jul 3.
On Jul 3 around 0710 orbit changed from 1172 x 1506 km to 1117 x 1455 km
Later on Jul 3 this was tweaked to 1119 x 1452 km (or, might be just a more accurate measurement)
The Briz-KM stage is still in a 1172 x 1506 km orbit, no change since the Apr 14 orbit perturbation noted by Anatoliy.

The suspected inspector satellite Kosmos-2504 and its predecessor Kosmos-2499 (both launched piggyback with Gonets-M and Strela-3M satellites on the Rokot booster) have engines built by OKB Fakel called K50-10.6. See this list of satellites carrying engines developed by OKB Fakel :
http://www.fakel-russia.com/images/content/o_kompanii/letnaya_istoriya/KA_s_oborudovaniem.pdf
They are the only two satellites in the list with this particular type of engine. According to the list, the satellites have an "electric engine unit (ERDU) with the K50-10.6". In this OKB Fakel leaflet (in English) the K50-10.6 is described as a thermal catalytic engine burning hydrazine:
http://www.fakel-russia.com/images/content/products/fakel_tkd_en_print.pdf
The only other reference I can find to the the K50-10.6 thrusters is in an article about cooperation between OKB Fakel and NPO Lavochkin in the 3/2015 issue of the NPO Lavochkin magazine "Vestnik". It is mentioned in a photo caption in a section called "electric thermal catalytic hydrazine engines".
https://www.laspace.ru/upload/iblock/a81/a81ab7a06d732871d12138a11250f4cd.pdf
(see p. 35)
However, the picture actually seems to show the K50-10.1 engine rather than the K50-10.6, so this should not be interpreted as evidence that the K50.10-6 is flown on a Lavochkin-built satellite.

Last year there were some reports that Cosmos 2504 had performed a relatively close (~1 km) approach to a piece from the Fengyin-1 #3 destruction. Has anyone identified which piece of debris this was, please? Of course the orbital inclination difference alone would have made any encounter a brief one.

The claim was 1999-025DPP
- and the closest approach I can find was 90 km at 0427 UTC Apr 21
-
And I don't believe a iota it could be intentional.
-
I think: a chance encounter.
-
I always thought that the media reports of the Cosmos 2504 "encounter" with Chinese debris last year sounded like a load of hype over a non-event. Wherever Cosmos 2504 might have been i am sure someone could have found some random piece of debris that it was "targeting".
-
Kosmos 2504 is still alive! It manoeuvred during November, lowering perigee some 40 km.
