“Glonass-M” satellite is shipped to “Baikonur”http://www.npopm.com/?cid=news&nid=73"On August 11, “Glonass-М” navigation satellite, manufactured at the JSC “Academician M.F. Reshetnev” Information Satellite Systems”, is shipped to “Baikonur” launching site for pre-starting procedures.
Spacecraft will be injected into orbit comprising block #38. Two more “Glonass-M” satellites, comprising that block, are expected to be delivered to “Baikonur” by the end of August. At present, preparatory works are in progress.
Modernization and replenishment the orbital constellation of the Russian navigation satellite system is being implemented by the JSC “Academician M.F. Reshetnev” Information Satellite Systems” in the strict conformity with the Federal Goal Program. In 2008 the enterprise will manufacture and launch six more “Glonass-M” satellites.
We remind that in 2007 the firm doubled the number of manufactured navigation spacecraft, and six “Glonass-M” satellites were injected into orbit. The similar scheme of launchings will be maintained in 2009"

Can we assume now that there are no more Proton-K vehicles left, and that Glonass will be launched by Proton-M/Block DM from now on?

It's usual and normal.
Vesti made it to the first stage separation. Would await for reports on the injection to LEO and further maneuvers.

I managed to record a video of the launch from the webcast. Does anyone know whether it is okay to post it here, with regard to copyright. (I need confirmation from an admin before I upload it, as I do not want to accidentally cause legal issues.)

New Ouragan-M satellites are numbers 724, 725 and 726.
Do someone know the Cosmos correspondance ?

Cosmos 2442-2444
Yes, I know, but what I think is : which Cosmos is 724, which Cosmos is 725, which Cosmos is 726 ?

Sometimes they are not... You know, the logic in Russian designation is often quiet strange ! :-)

A few trusted sources are lisiting this as launch site 23 but that seems to be in error
That launch was from 81/24, because, according to Novosti kosmonavtiki magazine, 81/23 is on planned overhaul now.
