First Bars-M was launched 11:01:35.
The second ~10:00 if I understand correctly ? (Planned launch time)
yes

Since the second Bars-M was originally scheduled for launch in August 2015, I wonder why there has been a delay of seven months?   Maybe the August date was in case the first Bars-M had a failure and a second one was ready to launch at fairly short notice?

The new launch should be Cosmos 2515, unless the Russians have twiddled the Cosmos numbers again. ;)

Perhaps the error at the Progress M27M launch the reason ?

That link says launch at 1 p.m. March 24 (10:00 UTC if my calculations are correct).  That's over four hours from now.

That led to delays of about six weeks for the final launches in the Kobalt-M and Kvarts programmes, so I would have expected a similar delay to September 2015 for Bars-M #2 - pushing it to September-October 2015.

With reference to previous Bars-M lift-off time vs NOTAMed period, launch is possible from 0941 UTC

Notice in Anik’s serial numbers 76058161/31М135С listed under fairing 14С744. So is that the serial number of the rocket too?
