Has the load for the Angara-A5 already been chosen or will the mass-dimensional layout be launched?- The decision on the payload for the launch of the Angara-A5 will be made in July-August. The right to choose it belongs to the military. But I can say for sure that there is no question of launching a mass-dimensional layout. Moreover, I’ll reveal a small secret: along with the main satellite, there can even be a small commercial spacecraft in the form of an associated load.
The second launch of #AngaraA5 will be without payload, said #Rogozin today. There will be the test of the launch vehicle with new upper stage 14S48 #Perseus (modification of DM family): https://ria.ru/20190607/1555362692.html …
But why should an Angara A5 / Briz-M a second time shoot bricks in the orbit?

What caused the 6 year delay between launches?
Quote from: NextGenSoldier on 07/17/2020 05:24 pmWhat caused the 6 year delay between launches? Transferral of production from Moscow to Omsk among other fun drama.Well, and the fact that it's the most complex, heavy-lift variant of the modular architecture supposed to retire most other vectors in the Russian fleet, but which are operating just fine meanwhile.
MOSCOW, October 31 - RIA Novosti. The launch of the second heavy-class carrier rocket "Angara-A5" from the Plesetsk cosmodrome is scheduled for November 28, two sources in the rocket and space industry told RIA Novosti.
"The Angara-A5 rocket with the Briz-M upper stage is planned to be brought to the launch complex of the 35th Plesetsk site on November 17. The launch is scheduled for November 28 at 8.22 Moscow time," the source said. Two more sources have confirmed this information.

The second launch vehicle "Angara-A5" was taken to the launch complex of the 35th site of the Plesetsk cosmodrome. Ahead is the test fueling of the rocket, draining, transportation to the filling station for filling the low-pressure tanks of the upper stage "Briz-M" and then back to the launch complex.
MOSCOW, November 23. / TASS /. The launch of the Angara-A5 heavy launch vehicle was postponed for several days due to the discovery of a remark during tests at the launch complex...."During the tests at the launch site, an underestimated insulation resistance between the second and third blocks was revealed. The launch will be postponed for several days to find out the reasons," the agency's source said.
MOSCOW, November 23 - RIA Novosti.

Thank you very much.The Proton-M used the 885xx Briz-M regularly until 2008. Then the 995xx Briz-M (enhanced?) was used and only a few 885xx Briz-M (remaining stock?).That is why I asked.
Bump: With the successful Soyuz launch, also from Plesetsk, on December 3, this becomes the next Russian orbital launch.

That launch date [No Later Than December 11] was reportedly close to multiple warranties on the rocket's systems. It is typical for the Russian rocket industry to end the warranties by December 31 of a particular year *. Naturally, the delay of the mission beyond the warranty deadline might require a complex re-certification process which launch officials often want to avoid.
*..., however according to one report, there were deadlines on this particular vehicle coming even a week earlier then the end of the year.
The rocket was reportedly returned to the assembly building by November 29 and another meeting on the status of the mission was planned for November 30. Due to the scheduled mission of the Soyuz-2-1a rocket with Gonets-M satellites, whose ground track was passing in the proximity of the Angara launch pad in Plesetsk, it was decided to keep the 2L vehicle in the assembly building. After the successful launch of the Soyuz on December 3, the State Commission overseeing the Angara flight testing was expected to meet on December 4 to approve the return of the Angara-5 2L vehicle to its launch pad. According to various reports, the officials considered December 11 and December 14 as potential launch dates for the second Angara-5 rocket.
MOSCOW, December 7 - RIA Novosti. The second test launch of the Angara-A5 heavy-class launch vehicle from the Plesetsk cosmodrome is scheduled for the morning of December 14, two sources in the rocket and space industry told RIA Novosti.... "The launch is scheduled for 8.50 Moscow time on December 14," the agency's source said.Another source confirmed this information, adding that today the rocket was transported to a refueling complex for refueling the low-pressure tanks of the Briz-M upper stage, which is scheduled for December 7-8. After that, on December 9, "Angara" will be delivered to the launch complex to prepare for launch.

An Angara-A5 launch vehicle was launched from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome, Russia, on 14 December 2020, at 05:50 UTC (08:50 local time). This was the second test launch (Test flight No.2) for the Angara-A5 heavy lift launch vehicle, the most powerful version of the Angara rocket. 12 minutes 28 seconds after the liftoff, the Angara-A5.2L space rocket orbital block including the Briz-M upper stage and a spacecraft weight mockup separated from the third stage of the launch vehicle. Further injection of the orbital block into the target orbit is carried out with the help of the Briz-M propulsion system.Credit: Roscosmos/Ministry of Defence of the Russian FederationAngara-A5 launch 2020
