I would guess, that the Kosmos is the Geizer (or Potok) relay satellite, which have always been launched under a Kosmos designator.
http://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sdat/potok.htmGlobus satellites were always named Raduga-1.

I am repeating my thinking about this launch from
Plan of Russian launches thread:
"On October 31st
this report informed that Proton rocket will launch Globus satellite in December...
On November 8th
this report informed that Kosmos satellite will be launched by Proton-M rocket with Briz-M upper stage in the beginning of December...
I think that this is the same military launch, i.e. Kosmos satellite is Globus satellite..."

I think so. It is that or put it in museum along with the last Luch Altair. Last Raduga was also called Kosmos for a time.

Hey Anik, I found the photo of the Luch/Gelios-satellite (left side) in NPO-PMīs factory.
http://www.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/content/numbers/229/31.shtmlAlso I have another photo from this satellite next to an older Express-A-type-sat.
This was my idea about the Cosmos-payload, instead of the Raduga/Globus satellite, which was announced. ;-)

Is this going from LC-81/23 or 24?

From PU-24.

Note: Circular orbit with an inclination of 50-55 degrees"
Strange. That orbit won't suit either Globus or Geizer...
So what it it? Arkas?

Or simply parking orbit for GEO launch.

Possibly, but it does seem to imply that it is the final orbit.
