From Novosti kosmonavtiki website:
- The assembly of Proton-M rocket was performed during this week...
- Today specialists have begun preparation to pneumatic tests of rocket...
- The preparation of Kosmos satellite is continuing according to plan...
- In the beginning of next week the delivery of Briz-M upper stage is scheduled...

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. ;-)

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.

Nice pictures, damn watermaks!
His there anyone here that is going to cover this launch? This is a military launch, but is there any idea about a possible launch profile?

I'll keep an eye on things, but I'm giving the Delta most of my attention.
As for flight profile, most rumours are that this is a GSO launch, however the limited facts we have suggest LEO. We'll have to wait and see.

That time would be consistent with a GTO launch.

Spacecraft "Raduga-1M" systems are in stable operation10.12.2007http://www.npopm.com/?cid=news&nid=31"A new communication satellite "Raduga-1M" developed and manufactured at Reshetnev NPO PM was launched on December 9, 2007 from Baikonur launch site.
The satellite was orbited with the "Proton-M" launcher and taken under control of the Ground Control Centre.
According to the preliminary telemetry data processed during the launch, the satellite was placed into orbit, the booster separated as planned. "Raduga-1M" configuration parts deployed.
The spacecraft "Raduga-1M" is equipped with the modern multi-transponder transmission equipment serviceable within centimetric- and decimeter-wave bands, which ensures communication with mobile stations including mountain hard-to-reach regions"
