If my calculations are correct, this was the 900th launch of an R-14 derivative, as well as the 441st Kosmos-3M launch.

If my calculations are correct, this was the 900th launch of an R-14 derivative, as well as the 441st Kosmos-3M launch.
My list shows 899 and 442, respectively, but I haven't done a top to bottom review of my list in a couple of years.

I've double checked. I have still got 900 R-14s, but you are right about it being the 442
nd Kosmos-3M. I added up the past launches, and forgot to add today's one.

... and here is something you may never have seen before:
I think it was shown during the Cryosat launch too. IIRC, there were flames in the service tower.

Flames? It looks like securing launch pad from toxic components.

No, I was referring to the previous Kosmos launch, the one with Cryosat. I seem to recall there were flames in the ground equipment, though it appeared to be nominal. Perhaps I'm mistaken, just pointing out I'd seen the spraying before.

CryoSat was launched by Rokot-KM. The image is of the Rokot-KM Cryosat launch platform.

And that's another time my working by memory fails
Of course, sorry about that. The spray system is similar, however.
Good luck with this mission!
