You have missed that it was planned for some time that the first Glonass-K satellite will be launched with two Glonass-M satellites by Proton-M rocket. Then you have missed that it was planned for some time that the first Glonass-K satellite will be launched by Soyuz-2 rocket from Baikonur cosmodrome. Now this launch is planned from Plesetsk cosmodrome. So for me such information is surprise.
14 more Glonass-M satellites will be launched in future. Six of them will be launched this year. The last launch of Glonass-M satellites will be in December 2012.TBD Kosmos (Glonass-M) Soyuz-2-1A/Fregat BaikonurTBD Kosmos (Glonass-M) Soyuz-2-1A/Fregat Baikonur
