Are the launches from Baikonour going to be ST launches? (most likely 10 + 6 from Vostochny)
And here she is in Kourou.Soyuz-ST-A N15000-010, but what will she launch?...
So the rockets awaiting launch from Kourou are:-Soyuz-ST-B №У15000-015 (26м137с) 81КС №У15000-035 (26м137с) Fregat-MT №133-21 for Galileo?Soyuz-ST-B №018 (3м143с) 81КС №044 (9м147с)Soyuz-ST-B №019 (4м143с) 81КС (24м147с) Fregat-M №133-19 allocated to OnewebSoyuz-ST-B №020 (5м143с) 81КС (25м147с) Fregat-M №133-20 allocated to OnewebFregat-M №133-13 and №133-16Soyuz-ST-B №021 (6м143с)
So the rockets awaiting launch from Kourou are:-Soyuz-ST-B №У15000-015 (26м137с) 81КС №У15000-035 (26м137с) Fregat-MT №133-21 for Galileo?
By 2023, it is planned to launch five Soyuz rockets from the Kuru cosmodrome03:13 01.02.2021MOSCOW, 1 Feb - RIA Novosti. Five launches of the Russian Soyuz-ST carrier rockets are scheduled until 2023 from the Kourou cosmodrome in French Guiana , follows from materials posted on the public procurement website .Earlier, a RIA Novosti source in the rocket and space industry said that three Soyuz launches with Kuru are expected in 2021 : in September - with two European Galileo navigation satellites, in November and December - two launches with 34 British OneWeb communication satellites in each."The subject of this contract is the lease of vehicles for the transportation of Russian personnel during the VS26-VS30 launch campaigns and during the work to maintain the technical readiness of the ground equipment of the Soyuz launch complex at the Guiana Space Center in 2020-2022," the Operations Center said. objects of ground space infrastructure (enterprise "Roskosmos").Since October 2011, 25 Russian Soyuz-ST missiles have been launched from the Kuru cosmodrome. One of the launches in August 2014 ended with the launch of the European navigation satellites Galileo into an off-design orbit due to the accident of the Fregat upper stage.
I thought that the EUMETSAT Metop-SG A1 & B1 would be launched by two Soyuz STB: Arianespace
...Changes are possible.

Completed annual maintenance of the Soyuz launch complex at the GKTsAt the Soyuz launch complex in the Guiana Space Center, the annual technical maintenance (TRP) of ground processing equipment has been completed. The TRP was conducted from August 9 to September 10, 2021 on 29 systems and assemblies in order to maintain ground processing equipment in readiness for use as intended in anticipation of the upcoming launch campaigns.The work involved 78 specialists from the V.P. Barmin Research Institute of Launch Complexes (a branch of the Center for Operation of Ground Space Infrastructure Facilities, part of the State Corporation Roscosmos) and related enterprises.The work was carried out with the support of the European provider of launch services Arianespace and European cooperation enterprises, which in turn support the work of the Russian side and operate the buildings and structures, as well as technical systems of the Soyuz launch complex.The daily activities of the calculation of TsENKI specialists are organized in compliance with all epidemiological requirements for the non-proliferation of coronavirus infection, established by the Government of the French Republic and the Prefecture of French Guiana.***The Guiana Space Center is a European spaceport located near the city of Kourou in French Guiana (a department of France in South America). Its location near the equator provides a 15% payload advantage over eastbound launches from the American spaceport at Cape Canaveral and a 40% advantage over launches from the Baikonur cosmodrome.The main contract integrator of Russian cooperation enterprises in the Soyuz project at the Guiana Space Center is Glavkosmos (part of Roskosmos), providing interaction with Arianespace. The preparation of Russian rocket and space technology and maintenance of ground technological equipment at the cosmodrome in Guiana is carried out by the enterprises of Roscosmos - the Progress Rocket and Space Center, the V.I. S.A. Lavochkin and TsENKI.Spacecraft launches are carried out by joint European-Russian launch crews. The preparation of the Soyuz-ST launch vehicles and the operation of the ground processing equipment supplied by the Russian side is carried out by Russian specialists.

Quote from: Josh_from_Canada on 10/21/2021 11:04 pmOnly 3 Soyuz launches from CSG planned in 2022? That's less then what the this forum's schedule says. I wonder if the flights listed here have been pushed into 2023 or are actually on Ariane 6.Note some may fly on Ariane-6 and other might move to another year. What is reported might not be up to date information and vice versa.
