William Graham's extensive article for this launch!
http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2015/02/soyuz-2-1a-launch-bars-m/

--

From what I have read, the new Bars satellite series is intended to be a topographic and mapping satellite, intended to replace the Yantar-1KFT/Kometa, but I do not know much about the satellite beyond that.   Since it will be launched using a Soyuz-2 variant one assumes that Bars will be of a similar mass to Kometa - possibly a bit heavier.

Do we know whether Bars will be a film-return satellite or will it be an electro-optical satellite like Resurs-DK or Resurs-P?   Have any artistic renderings been made available for Bars?   Will it be going to a Sun-synchonous orbit, do we know?

Of course, everything might be "secret" apart from a few very basic details!

It is my complete understanding that MoD of Russia ordered the flyout of all existing film spacecraft followed by order switching all programs to electro-optical spacecraft to increase the SC's lifespans. I think that I recall the switch is to be complete before/by early 2015 at the latest.

Thank you, Russianhalo.   At the moment the only Russian film-return photoreconnaissance satellite to be flying is Yantar-4K2M/Kobolt-M: there reportedly only two further flights scheduled - one later this year and then the final one next year.   This is why I wondered whether Bars would be electro-optical.   I would assume that it will be a derivative of the Yantar-4KS1M/Neman platform which has flown as Resurs-DK and next week as the first Resurs-P.

This Bars has a long history…

One component was designed in 1989.
http://bd.patent.su/2390000-2390999/pat/servl/servletd322.html

Work was suspended on Bars in 2005. «Пеленг» were working on «Яшма-М».
http://www.sudact.ru/arbitral/doc/uBBfE90yzUdw/

For «Барс-М» its instrument «Карат» comes from ЛОМО.
http://www.lomo.ru/site/about/qreport3-11.rtf

On this presentation there is only Bars-M, but it says Roskosmos?
http://www.cpnt.ru/userfiles/G_M_Polishuk.pdf

The GRAU for Bars is 17Ф112, which comes in sequence before 17Ф113 Orlets-2 long since retired. It looks like the Bars being prepared will have a GRAU starting with 14Ф, its overall being 14К035?
http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=24942.msg1066111#msg1066111

Is it possible that this first Bars will have been under construction for ten years? It is worth noting that the last two Dons to fly had serial numbers from 1993, making Kosmos-2399 ten years old and Kosmos-2423 thirteen!

Bars-M is on hold.
http://www.izvestia.ru/news/542883

So Bars and Bars-M are something different? Bars-M is for Roskosmos? Reconstruction is required at «ЦСКБ-Прогресс» before its manufacture.

.....

Bars is mentioned in passing in the third volume of the history of the Military Space Forces (Voenno-kosmicheskiye sily, kniga 3, published in 2001), which covers the period 1992-1997. It is listed together with a series of rockets, upper stages and satellites (Proton-M, Angara, Tsirkon-2, Parus-M, Garpun, Lotos, Taifun, Pion, Briz, Fregat) for which the TsNII-50 military research institute worked out "tactical-technical requirements". The narrative would suggest this was in 1993, although this is not entirely clear. Anyway, it does look like the Bars proposal has been around for quite a while.

Thank you for the new information, Stan.

To date i have not seen any indication of what Bars-M will look like.   I am assuming something along the lines of Yantar-4KS1M - Resurs-DK - Resurs-P but with different instrumentation.

Found several versions of this, not sure what is the best link.

В космическом аппарате системы 14К035 в состав топлива входит пятьдесят килограммов гептила.
14К035 is the index that covers the entire Bars-M system. Before any new satellite is launched there is an Environment impact assessment. Part of that it was noted that the 14К035 will carry 50 kilogrammes of heptyl, a toxic propellant.

According to http://ria.ru/space/20141208/1037157935.html the next Dnepr-1 launch with Korea's KOMPSAT-3A will launch on January 22. The 1st launches from Plesetsk of 2015 will be of the 2nd Soyuz-2.1v on February 1 and then a Soyuz-2.1a on February 21 (time to start the payload guessing game I guess  ;)).

Tender from RKTs-Progress preparing for launch of Bars-M.

Going over those documents again I came across:-

Габаритные размеры КК «Барс-М» - 4000х2300х2300мм, масса - 4000 кг.
Госзаказом предусмотрено выпуск 2-× изделий в год.

Also I think this is being prepared under contract №К-33-02-07 from 12th October 2007.

My first thought is that mass of 4,000 kg appears to be very light.   I would have expected something closer to ~6,000 kg for a satellite based upon the Yantar-4KS1(M) design.

This is based on the SVIT platform not Yantar. The tender is for reconstruction of the factory, so is that the dry mass?

Thank you for the clarification Stan.   Do you have a link for any details of the SVIT platform please?   Presumably SVIT is an acronym?

Still trying to get my head around this. СВИТ is from Isayev. So is it technically just the propulsion system? Couple of references can be found in this thread.

Also Isayev have been contracted to manufacture a mockup.
