The launch is planned on 30 Juni.

Are they planned other launches of satellites from Kapustin Jar base?

June 30? Where is the launch date from? This launch has been planned on May 22, then moved to May 30 and to June. Nowhere I have seen June 30 launch date.

According to Orbcomm news release http://www.orbcomm.com/media/releases/Release05-28-08.htm
the satellites have been shipped to Kapustin Yar for a launch before the end of June.

There is no mention to UGATUSAT, so I supose this satellite will be launched on a later date.

Or just isn't important enough to be mentioned.

There are two pads at Site 107.  Does anyone know which pad hosted this launch?

A video of the launch is available at the end of this documentary :



You can see that it is written "Orbcomm" on the launcher, so it is obviously this launch. But the paintings seem to be different from that on the above picture, so this one could be a fake...
