MOSCOW, May 17. / TASS /. South Korean remote sensing satellites (CAS500-1 and CAS500-2) are planned to be launched at the end of April and the end of July 2020 on the Soyuz-2.1a rocket from the Baikonur cosmodrome. This was reported to journalists on Thursday by the general director of the Glavkosmos launch services company (launch operator) Alexander Serkin."The launch dates of South Korean satellites: CAS500-1 - the end of April 2020, CAS500-2 - the end of July 2020," he said.According to Serkin, the start-up period for the first mission begins in December 2019 and ends at the end of April 2020, for the second, it begins in December 2019 and ends at the end of July 2020."Both missions will be launched from Baikonur with Soyuz-2.1a rockets with Fregat boosters, the rockets have already been ordered, the first already in production, the second will go into production later this year," he said.
The launch of the MLM slips to the end of 2019In the first half of 2018, continuous delays with the repairs of the MLM module at GKNPTs Khrunichev in Moscow pushed the mission well into the second half of 2019. By May, the launch of the MLM module was officially re-scheduled for November 2019. In anticipation of its docking at the Russian segment of the ISS, the long-duration Russian crew aboard the outpost was expected to increase from two to three people in October 2019.
Any news re: Lybid and its Zenit LV?(I assume no, but I thought I'd "bump" the topic.)

It will be shipped after receipt of Briz-KM hardware for the remaining Rockot 2018 launches.Satellite is still sitting in storage.

(I just learned that the city's name was recently changed from Dnipropetrovsk to Dnipro!)The associated technical staffers, Ukrainian and Russian, finish Zenit assembly at Baikonur?Is it possible/technically legal in the current political climate?(I assume no, but I like some surprises.)
Seems like this one could go up June 16 from around 21:30 UTC<snip>
How many Glonass-M satellites and launches remain? And when?I see a single launch scheduled for October 2018 in this thread, as of the most recent revision.I've read mention of differing numbers of satellites satellites still to be launched in different sources. If I use the most expansive list I see model numbers: 757, 758, 759, 760, and 761.Is a final Proton-M/Blok DM-03 triplet launch still planned for, or is it cancelled?

Most/all have already shipped from the manufacturer during the first 2 quarters of 2018.
