I'm looking for images of the THEOS launch for an article I'm writing about this mission. Please, if someone has any image of this launch can post it here or PM me.

Thanks!

Did yoi remark this sentence in the official release of MKK Kosmotras after the launch :

Quote

Contract for the launch of THEOS SC was concluded between ISC Kosmotras and Eurockot, Germany.

What does it mean ? I agree the launch was initially planned on Rokot, but I don't understand why there has been a "contract between MKK-K and Eurockot"...

Thanks !

The THEOS launch was contracted with Eurockot, but due to the upper stage engine shortage Eurockot was not able to fulfill the contract. So Eurockot contracted a launch for THEOS with Kosmotras.
