The contract, in particular, provided for work to transfer the Soyuz-2 missiles launched from Baikonur, completely to naphtha. In April 2019, Dmitry Baranov, Director General of the RCC Progress, told RIA Novosti that the first launch of the Soyuz-2 rocket from the Vostochny cosmodrome is fully planned using naphthyl after 2020.Earlier it was reported about the ongoing modernization of the engines RD-107A and RD-108A (produced by PJSC Kuznetsov, which is part of the United Engine Corporation), used respectively on the first and second stages of the Soyuz-2 missiles, in order to use naphtha instead of kerosene. Prior to that, naphthyl was used only on the third stage of the Soyuz-2 rocket.In an additional agreement to the contract, published on the website of public procurement, states that work in the amount of 24.977 million rubles for the transfer of Soyuz-2 missiles launched from Baikonur are completely excluded from the list for naphthyl.In March, Rostec, which includes the United Engine Corporation, announced the completion of testing the RD-107A and RD-108A engines of the first and second stages of the Soyuz-2 rocket operating on naphthyl.

I do not understand everything. But for VS23 with CSG-1 / Cheops is Soyuz-ST-A / Fregat-M planned, right? #15000-010 + 133-11
And here she is in Kourou.Soyuz-ST-A N15000-010, but what will she launch?

I've a ST-B Fregat MT 1/143 2/147 for the CSG1 + CHEOPS + mico & Cubesats.My source was a soyuz global production list
pretty sure CHEOPS was/is planned to go on a ST-B, so how sure are we that 010 is a ST-A ?
Two accelerating units "Frigate" sent to the Guiana Space Center07.19.2019On July 10, 2019, containers were sent from the territory of NPO Lavochkin JSC to send containers with accelerating Fregat-M blocks developed by NPO Lavochkina JSC. The products were delivered by road to the Sea Port of St. Petersburg OJSC, after which the containers were loaded onto the sea vessel, which, in turn, went to the port Pariakabog, Kuru (French Guiana) on July 17.As part of the Soyuz-ST carrier rocket, the Fregat-M upper stages will ensure that foreign satellites are put into orbit. Launches are scheduled for the fourth quarter of this year from the Guiana Space Center within the framework of the Russian-European project “Union in the GCC”.The upper stage “Frigate”, produced by NPO Lavochkina, ensures the effective execution of all tasks for the removal of one or several spacecraft into working orbits or trajectories departing from the Earth. The entire elimination process is carried out autonomously, without interference from the Earth. RB "Fregat" has exceptional qualities: long (up to 2 days) active life, control algorithms that allow to overcome abnormal situations, multiple (up to 7 times) incorporation of the marching propulsion system, the highest reliability and gives the overclocking block undeniable competitive advantages over world peers.
