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.
MOSCOW, December 7. / TASS /. The launch of two telecommunication space satellites Express-AMU3 and Express-AMU7 has been postponed to the end of 2021. This was announced on Monday by the head of Roscosmos Dmitry Rogozin."In the fourth quarter of next year, we plan to carry out a pair launch on Proton-M, sending both Express-AMU3 and Express-AMU7 to target orbits," Rogozin wrote on his Facebook page.

MOSCOW, Dec 8 - RIA Novosti. The only space launch in 2020 from the Vostochny cosmodrome of the Soyuz-2 carrier rocket with 36 British OneWeb satellites has been postponed from December 17 to 18 for reasons not related to technology, two sources in the rocket and space industry told RIA Novosti."The launch has been postponed to the 18th," the agency's source said.This information was confirmed by another source.
“This is a very important event for us. After this stage, after the public presentation of projects, we proceed directly to the stage of manufacturing nanosatellites. We set aside one year for the implementation of this stage so that the satellites are fully ready by the end of 2021, and so that they can be launched into space in 2022, ”said Igor Belokonov, head of the interuniversity space research department at Samara University.Design works submitted by various Russian universities were evaluated by renowned scientists and specialists, as well as representatives of the Ministry of Education and Science. Ultimately, all three projects were approved. In the future, these nanosatellites are planned to be used to study the ionosphere, explore the Arctic and Antarctic, and identify ships. How many vehicles will be included in the space group is still unknown.The SamSat-ION scientific and educational nanosatellite, developed at Samara University, is planned to be used for tomography of the upper ionosphere, for studying wave processes and for studying plasma. It will be launched into a solar synchronous orbit with an altitude of about 550 km. According to the calculations, the service life of the apparatus in such an orbit is 19 years.The other two satellites were developed by the Astronomicon laboratory and the St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. They will use a single satellite platform. The apparatus of the Polytechnic-ION Polytechnic University will have a receiver for an automatic identification system for monitoring sea vessels. The apparatus of the Astronomicon laboratory, named HeckStek, will be equipped with equipment for testing the radiation resistance of various element base. All three vehicles will study plasma along their flight path and carry out tomography of the ionosphere.

A total of 6 or 7 launches from the Vostochny cosmodrome are planned in 2021. The first launch is scheduled for February 25. 36 communication satellites of the British company OneWeb will be sent to Earth orbit, a source in the rocket and space industry told RIA Novosti today.
"The first launch in 2021 from Vostochny is scheduled for February 25, 36 communication satellites of the British company OneWeb will fly into space," the source said.According to him, six or seven Soyuz missile launches are expected from Vostochny next year."In the second quarter, two launches are planned with 36 OneWeb devices in each, in the fourth quarter - three or four launches: with the Meteor-M meteorological satellite, two Ionosphere scientific devices, the Luna-25 lunar landing station and, possibly, radar satellite "Kondor-FKA", - said the source.
