The Interfax anews agency says ( http://www.interfax.com/3/166026/news.aspx ) that there is no contact with Resurs-DK1 because of a problem with an antennae. Are there any other informations about this?

According to my source, Resurs-DK satellite did not react to commands from MCC-M on first and second orbits, but transmitted telemetry well... From third or fourth orbit Resurs-DK has begun to react to commands also... And, for the present, all normally with the satellite...

The video (50 Mb) of launch - a view from MCC-M... Source: http://www.ntsomz.ru/news/news_cosmos/cup_15_06_06

P.S.: I did not look this file, because it is very large for me, therefore I do not know exactly what in it...

Got this video, nothing special in it. No pictures from the rocket, only a 2:30min long view of people in the launch control room (like on the picture uploaded by anik). Imho not really worthy the downloading.

According to http://www.federalspace.ru/NewsDoSele.asp?NEWSID=1587 Resurs-DK has successfully raised orbit twice today... The satellite is on working orbit now...

Did someone managed to enter this link? It gives always an error message.

At the link http://people.roma2.infn.it/~pam2002/pamela_launch150606.avi you can find the video of the lunch. The file is very big (~180 MB).

Thanks for the video link. Did you film that?

No, it is the video filmed by the team of the experiment "Pamela".

Page doesn't work by me either

. Got some pictures (not all) from their site earlier, here they are (can send hi-res versions of them per mail):

Looking at several Russian documents I noticed it is referered to as КА «Ресурс-ДК1» № 1?

I have wondered if the intended #2 mutated into Resurs-P?

The Federal Space Programme for 2001-2005, approved by the Russian government on 30 March 2000, called for the development of three Resurs-DK satellites (Resurs-DK1, DK2, DK3). At the time of the Resurs-DK1 launch in mid-2006 it was reported that TsSKB-Progress was working on a second satellite that might be equipped with a radar. Plans to use the Resurs-DK bus for a radar imaging satellite existed as early as 1995, when the civilian digital imaging satellites were first presented at the Paris Air Show (at the time the optical imaging satellite was called Resurs-Spektr-V and the radar version Resurs-Spektr-RI).

In 2007 the Russian Space Agency announced a tender for Resurs-P (apparently after a similar tender announced the year before had been declared null and void), which was won by TsSKB-Progress. It is possible that the bus for Resurs-DK2 was already under construction at the time and that it was used for Resurs-P nr. 1, although I haven't seen that confirmed.

Also noticed that the ‘2’ is part of the name, i.e. in the brackets: «Ресурс-ДК2»

Phillip Clark · « **Reply #37 on:** 01/20/2014 02:56 pm »

Does anyone know if Resurs-DK is still returning images?

During September 10-11, 2010 the satellite was manoeuvred from the 356-573 km orbit where it had been operating since shortly after launch to a circular 567-574 km orbit. Maybe the satellite is still returning images - but with a somewhat lower resolution - from the higher orbit?

Nicolas PILLET · « **Reply #38 on:** 01/20/2014 03:15 pm »

Yes, it is still working.

Уверен, он ещё поработает на благо нашей Родины», - сказал Александр Николаевич.
