This is Kondor launch or Kondor-E? Anatoly Zak is reporting launch of Kondor-E while anik's manifesto shows Kondor-E still TBD?

Kondor-E is the export version, this is a Russian military launch, so it's a Kondor not a Kondor-E

The word is that the spacecraft is alive.
This message reflects my personal opinion based on open sources of information.

William, in your article you refer to a radar imaging payload while the article from forbes.kz talk about an optical module.

Is this the first Russian radar satellite since the Almaz-T series? (disregarding the little-used one on Mir)

Since it's for the Russian MoD will it be named Kosmos 2487?

William, in your article you refer to a radar imaging payload while the article from forbes.kz talk about an optical module.

The Kondor programme consists of both radar and electrooptical satellites, before launch it was reported to be a radar satellite. The orbit data that Anik posted would also be more consistent with a radar payload than an optical one (which would likely go to a sun-synchronous orbit).

We'll find out fairly soon, if it is a radar satellite it will deploy a large antenna, which should be identifiable from the ground.
