What say our experts?  Should we save some characters when listing Angara-A1.2?  Is the /AM designation redundant?
Angara 1.2/AM: AM stands for ?
It's the upper stage, called Aggregate Module.

Which, in my opinion, doesn't need to be mentioned separately.
The Aggregate Module is part of the Angara 1.2.
The Angara 1.2pp flew without it, but with a second stage of the Angara 5.

No, Angara-1.2 cannot flies without AM (to be more accurate, it can not fly to orbit without AM). That's why AM it not considered as an upper stage, like Fregat, Volga, Briz or Bloc D, but as a part of second stage. It has no serial number and we should not write "Angara-1.2/AM", but just "Angara-1.2".

Hi SALO, have you any info about the launch of the Elektro L-5 satellite planned (but not yet defined at the end of 2025 or 2026?
More than anything else I would like to know if it will replace Elektro L2 now at the end of the mission and with various failures at 14.5 degrees west or will it be sent to 105 degrees east?
Grazie

July 24: A Soyuz-2 rocket to launch the second pair Ionosfera satellites (No. 3 and No. 4) and a cluster of secondary payloads from Vostochny.

As of October 2024, the launch was expected in April 2025, but by the end of 2024, the mission was set for June 17, 2025. In March 2025, the launch was expected on July 24.

On May 12, Roskosmos reported that specialists from Vostochny space center and from NPO Lavochkin had unpacked Fregat and installed into it processing rig for the upcoming electric and pneumatic tests preceding fueling operations.
