Flightstar, unfortunately, I do not have the full list of all planned Russian launches in 2006...

I also do not know when the first Russian launch will be in 2006 - maybe Proton-M rocket with ArabSat 4A satellite from Baikonur cosmodrome or maybe Start-1 rocket with EROS B1 satellite from Svobodny cosmodrome...

By the way, Steven S. Pietrobon from Australia have a very good manifest of planned Russian launches

That is a very good manifest. I'll have to send him an e-mail to say "G'Day"

Actually, there's a few sites you've linked up on here that are VERY good with information such as this. I really do wish to e-mail an introduction to them and see how we can all work together.

Thanks Anik, that's more than I expected, so it serves my needs!

Unfortunately, these dates are not known to me...

Proton-K/DM-3 - KazSat-1

KazSat-1 satellite will be launched not earlier than February...

Firestarter - 1/1/2006 11:30 PM

Start-1 - EROS-B1

EROS-B1 satellite will be launched at the period from January to March...

Firestarter - 1/1/2006 11:30 PM

Proton-M/Briz-M - HotBird-7A

I think, that HotBird-7A will not be launched in January, because the satellite is not delivered on Baikonur cosmodrome still...

Firestarter · « **Reply #7 on:** 01/01/2006 08:27 pm »

Thanks Anik, I'm glad the Baikonur workers will get some rest!

Colby · « **Reply #8 on:** 01/02/2006 02:49 am »

Wait... I thought Hot Bird 7A was being launched on an Ariane 5 ECA along with SpainSat. See this topic: http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=1121&posts=3#M14173

Can anyone help clarify this?

anik · « **Reply #9 on:** 01/02/2006 10:17 am »

Oops!...

Hot Bird 7A will be launched on Ariane 5 ECA, certainly!...

Steven S. Pietrobon was mistaken and I, unfortunately, has not checked up his information...

I am sorry!...

Colby · « **Reply #10 on:** 01/02/2006 05:03 pm »

No problem, these satellite launches are confusing, and the payloads seem to switch launchers occasionally, making matters worse!

EROS-B satellite will be launched by Start-1 rocket from Svobodny cosmodrome in March...

Great info Anik. Looks like a busy Spring is what we have to look forward to from the Russians.
