Following confirmation of mission success, Angara will have completed the three demonstration flights needed to enter operational status. There are three flights planned for Angara in 2022 – two Angara 1.2 flights and a single Angara A5 flight.The next flight is scheduled for January, with an Angara 1.2 for the Russian Aerospace Forces, launching a radar satellite to a sun synchronous orbit.After that, Angara A5/Persei will launch again, scheduled for March, carrying a Russian Ekspress-AMU communications satellite to geostationary orbit.The final launch of the year is scheduled for July, with another Angara 1.2 launching a South Korean Earth observation satellite. KOMPSAT-6, also called Arirang-6, is a synthetic aperture radar satellite, and can provide images with a resolution power between 0.5 meters and 20 meters.

The real headscratcher is the Angara A5 launch of an Ekspress-AMU satellite in March, as I cannot find any indication of such a launch from official sources. As far as I'm aware, the next Ekspress satellite to be launched is Ekspress-AMU4 on a Proton-M in 2023. Does anyone know which satellite is manifested for the March launch?

TASS reporting that the first OneWeb launch in 2022 is from the Guiana Space Center.https://tass.ru/kosmos/13301243
TASS reports that Roscosmos has 11 launches of foreign spacecraft in 2022. One of these launches is from Vostochny, three from Kourou, and the remaining seven from Baikonur. Seven of these launches are for OneWeb.https://tass.ru/kosmos/13313029
February 20 Kourou launch becomes OneWeb Flight 13.January 27 Baikonur launch (apparently) becomes OneWeb Flight 14, sometime after February 20.Add cross-post:7 OneWeb launches = 1 Kourou launch on Feb 20 + 6 Baikonur launches after Feb 20.If the Baikonur launches are still possible approximately 1 per month, completion would be NET July or August.As we already have, the other 2 Kourou launches are 2 pairs of Galileo satellites, currently late March and September.This apparently currently precludes further Kourou Soyuz launches in 2022, such as the possibility of 2022 Soyuz launch of Sentinel-1C.
Glavkosmos (part of Roskosmos) plans 11 launches of spacecraft next year. The CEO of the company Dmitry Loskutov told TASS about it.
MILESTONE FOR SATELLITE DEVELOPMENTSouth Korean companies including LIG Nex1 Co. have developed their own synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) signal control system for the multi-purpose satellite Arirang 6 that an Angara rocket is scheduled to carry from Plesetsk Cosmodrome, about 800 kilometers north of Moscow, Russia around the end of 2022, according to aerospace industry sources on Nov. 21.

The Russian Ministry of Defense plans to launch three Angara launch vehicles from the Plesetsk cosmodrome in 2022, which will launch satellites for various purposes into orbit, an informed source told RIA Novosti."In 2022, it is planned to launch three Angara launch vehicles - two heavy Angara-A5 and one light Angara-1.2. They will launch operating spacecraft for various purposes into orbit; there are no plans to launch payload mockups anymore," - said the interlocutor of the agency.According to him, "the Briz-M serial upper stage will be used as part of the heavy rockets to launch the payload into the geostationary orbit."On December 27, the space forces of the Russian Aerospace Forces conducted the third test launch of the Angara-A5 heavy carrier rocket with the overall mass model of the payload from the Plesetsk cosmodrome. The previous launch from the northern cosmodrome was successfully completed on December 14, 2020.
