Quote from: Galactic Penguin SST on 10/21/2017 09:01 amDo we at least know by now what version of the Soyuz-2.1 will be used? I would not be surprised if it is a Soyuz 2.1b. Many were ordered.

When it became clear it was to be a Soyuz-2-1V that narrowed down the payload which could be carried.l
Dec. 1: A Soyuz-2-1B rocket to launch the first 14F145/Lotos military satellite for the Liana electronic intelligence network from Plesetsk. The mission was previously planned for Oct. 25, 2017, but had to be postponed until beginning of November and until November 18, at the earliest, due to problems with the satellite. On Oct. 25, space officials were expected to hold a meeting in Moscow on the status of the mission. The launch was then postponed until December 1, 2017.....December: A Soyuz-2-1v rocket to launch a classified payload from Plesetsk.

The Russian launch schedule thread lists this one as scheduled for this week. Has there been any indication that it is holding that schedule? Has anybody seen any NOTAMs that could indicate a launch is close?
