Latest "official" news report about Russian launches, this time for February - March 2015: http://www.militarynews.ru/story.asp?rid=1&nid=363303

The new dates are:

March 3 - 3x Gonets-M [block 14]
March 17 -  Ekspress-AM7

[Galactic Penguin SST]

All 3 satellites have been delivered to Plesetsk a few days ago: http://www.iss-reshetnev.ru/?cid=news&nid=1833

[russianhalo117]

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

[Stan Black]

Briz-KM originally manufactured to launch Kanopus-V-IK, since moved to Soyuz-2-1A.

Is № 72526 for a Kanopus satelite?

No, Gonets.

Wow ! We can find a link about SpaceX even in a thread dedicated to a UR-100NU Soviet nuclear missile launch !

They do appear to be spreading across all things… try to keep your voice down, or you’ll find this thread hijacked by their groupies.

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

yes

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:
http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=32815.0

Link to satellite's page on Gunter's Space Page:
http://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sdat/dosaaf-85.htm

If DOSAAF-85 doesn't launch on this flight, then when?

Curious,

The launch is scheduled at 16:40 UTC: http://tass.ru/kosmos/1787236

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.

[Galactic Penguin SST]

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

[Lanista]

Due to collision
(according NK forum)

That poor rocket will be grounded for >10 days ("no launch in at least a week an a half"): http://ria.ru/space/20150302/1050528118.html

[Liss]

That's not correct.

That's not correct.

According to 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?

Slipping into April: http://tass.ru/kosmos/1831026
