Now the satellite is put into storage at the company’s facilities and will wait for its launch which is slated for this fall. Gonets-M №26 is going to be launched together with two other satellites of the Gonets-M series which have been also completed by the company earlier this year.

Quote from: B. Hendrickx on 04/17/2018 10:07 amIt looks like another trio of Rodnik (Strela-3M/14F132) satellites are being prepared for launch, possibly later this year. ISS Reshetnyov has released documentation related to the transportation of the 14F132 Block nr. 16 satellites from Krasnoyarsk to Plesetsk on an Ilyushin-76 airplane. A transport company is to be selected in early May. No date for the transport has been scheduled yet. The documents only say that the transport company will be notified of the date 30 days in advance. http://zakupki.gov.ru/223/purchase/public/purchase/info/common-info.html?regNumber=31806361861It will be interesting to see if this Rodnik launch carries another of the inspector satellites as a piggyback payload, as did the Rodnik launches on 25 December 2013 (Kosmos-2491) and 24 May 2014 (Kosmos-2499). True, the latest Rodnik launch on 23 September 2015 did not have an additional payload. The last of the Rokot-launched inspector satellites (Kosmos-2504) went up with a trio of civilian Gonets-M satellites on 31 March 2015.Looks like the Rodnik launch is planned for this summer. In an interview last January [my bold] the director of the Khrunichev Center expressed the hope that all four remaining Rokot boosters will be launched before the end of this year : - 26 March-6 April : Sentinel-3B- June : Ministry of Defense payload- summer : Ministry of Defense payload- October : Gonets-M trio [my bold]https://iz.ru/693686/dmitrii-strugovetc/v-stolitce-budet-izgotovleno-shest-raket-angara-a5The payload for the June launch is a GEO-IK geodetic satellite.

With the Blagovest satellite launched yesterday announced as Cosmos-2533 and not Cosmos-2534, we can be quite sure that Object E from the [November 30] Rokot/Rodnik launch is not an inspector satellite, but a piece of debris or some kind of dummy payload. The absence of maneuvers and radio signals in the weeks since launch had already pointed in that direction. As noted earlier in this thread, the Kommersant newspaper said the November 30 Rokot launch carried a mass model of the Blits-M laser reflector satellite, but added that it was "non-detachable", which would seem to rule out that this is Object E. Two of the Blits-M satellites are supposed to hitch a ride on the next Rokot mission, which will carry a trio of Gonets satellites as the main payload. Actually, the Blits-M satellites are part of a larger secondary payload called an "adapter block". More on this can be found in technical specifications released by Roscosmos in 2015.http://www.zakupki.gov.ru/epz/order/notice/ok44/view/documents.html?regNumber=0173100007015000074http://zakupki.gov.ru/223/purchase/public/purchase/info/documents.html?regNumber=31502872244It is actually a quite complex payload consisting of :- an integration system (in turn made up of an adapter called 14S137M and a small satellite called Radio-2017)- an orientation system- two separation systems (apparently one to separate the adapter block from the main payload and one to separate the Blits-M satellites from the adapter block)- a separation control systemThe main function of the adapter block is to ensure that the Blits-M satellites (which are totally inert payloads) are separated with the proper angular velocity and with a correctly oriented rotation axis. The Radio-2017 satellite is supposed to send a command to separate the Blits-M satellites and relay to the ground telemetry confirming that they have been released. If the November 30 Rocket launch did carry a mass model of Blits-M, it is most likely mounted on a partially or fully functional version of the adapter block. That opens the possibility that Object E is the separated adapter block, with the Blits-M mass model remaining attached to it. However, there are two problems with that. First, the adapter block is apparently supposed to separate from the main payload, whereas Object E separated from the Briz-KM after it performed its perigee lowering maneuver following the separation of the Rodnik satellites. Second, the technical specifications do mention an experimental model of the adapter block and a mass model of Blits-M, but say they are needed for ground-based tests.The integration system is built by "NTTs Malye kosmicheskiye apparaty" in Zheleznogorsk. Attached are pictures of the integration system (a mock-up and the flight model) from the company's website. The Radio-2017 satellite (based on the company's new NT-50 platform) is on top and the 14S137M adapter is below it. The Blits-M satellites (see the final attachment) blwill presumably be mounted on either side of the adapter.
Radio-2017 mass simulator is what a source said is likely Object E it if is still silent.

MOSCOW, October 2. / TASS /. Operation of the Rokot launch vehicles of the basic version may end on November 29 with the launch of three communication satellites of the Gonets system from the Plesetsk cosmodrome, Oleg Khimochko, the first deputy general director of the Gonets Satellite System JSC, told TASS.“The launch date is November 29, but the transfer may take place to December 20-29,” Khimochko said, adding that the decision whether to delay the launch or not will be made in the coming days.
