How is Proton able to deploy 2 satellites? Is Luch somehow able to support the mass of the Israeli satellite?

For a spacecraft to communicate with Luch, a dedicated steerable Ku band antenna is required; this would be as useful for Phobos-Grunt as a boat anchor.

Probably a problem of telemetry between the 2nd stage and the ground... as all is OK at this time.

Just to remind. Luch-5A separation will take place at the end of the Briz-M 4th ignition. Separation occurs at T+8h 54m 10s. After this, the Briz-M will execute another ignition (the 5th) and the end separation of Amos-5 occurs ate T+9h 35m 5s.

Chris, contrary to your article, the Russian Space Agency launch announcements say Luch-5A is an Express-1000 satellite with a fuelled mass of 1148 kg
(the Khrunichev site said it was only 950 kg). It's a similar design to Amos-5 (which is an Express-1000N) and not the same as the old KAUR-4 based Luch satellites.

Khrunichev reports AMOS deployed to a 35659 x 36005 km x 4.9 deg orbit, and
Luch-5A is reported deployed to the 'target orbit' but no parameters given. Will be interesting to see how long it takes Space-Track to find them.

I remember that (at least for Zvezda) there are unused antennae specifically designed for the Luch system. I might be wrong though.

The big antenna on the aft end of Zvezda was for the Luch system.

There is absolutely no doubt that it is Ekspress-1000
N, since the latin letter H has no equivalent in Cyrillic alphabet.

Any idea why the fairing was rotated vertical? That's not normally done for the commercial launches.

I don't understand the necessity of verticalising the satellite...

And do you know what the "H" stands for ?
From an ISS Reshetnev PDF from 2007, they had this platforms:
Express-1000A: Loutch-5A/B
Express-1000K: Express-MD/AT2
Express-1000H: Amos-5/Telekom-3/Yamal-300K
Express-1000SH: Express-AM8/AT1
Express-2000: Express-AM5/AM6
The PDF is badly exporte, but it seemed like the K and H could put a second satellite on top. The K is the smallest one, the H is next, the SH is lengthened yet, and last the 2000 is the biggest one.
Since the export didn't put some letters, I'm assuming K can be stack upto three on a Proton-M with Briz-M or DM-03 US, the H can take two, and the SH can take a secondary >1200kg satellite, ll with the above stated Proton-M.

4 objects in all: Luch-5A, Amos-5, Briz-M and Briz-M's tank

From to-day's latest data:
- Object A (now presumably AMOS-5) in 35689.2 x 36057.8 km x 0.12°
- Object B (now presumably Luch-5A) in 35588.1 x 35999.9 km x 4.91°
- Object C (presumably Briz-M) no data yet
- Object D (presumably Briz-M's tank) in 412.2 x 35863.6 km x 47.76°

Could our Russian colleagues step in and tell us what is the correct designation of Amos-5 platform in English?
Ekspress-1000H.
Well, three are two different questions, what does Reshetnev call it in English when they write English copy, and what is the Russian name for it.
It would not be unprecedented for the name used by the manufacturer for a satellite in English is not a direct transliteration of the name used by them in the original language.
So Andrey, you are saying that when we see "Экспресс-1000Н" in a Russian document, the "Н" is an English H and not a Cyrillic N ?. Just trying to super-clarify here! You can see why we might be confused!

Even Reshetnev seems to get confused:
This page has both Express-1000N and Express-1000H in two consecutive sentences!

Jonathan, I do not know exactly, but if I see Экспресс-1000SH platform in Russian, I understand that it is Ekspress-1000SH in English, so H in Russian is H in English in this case.

That's a fair argument - Jonathan

Some equipment for tests was delivered by Progress M-14M. All other equipment will arrive later. Beginning of transmissions will be since 2013 likely.

http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewsr.rss.html?pid=40330Preparatory to the planned launch of more Russian Luch (Altair) communications satellites, Oleg Kononenko used the FSH3 spectrum analyzer to perform another characterization test on the Lira antenna feeder, taking parameter measurements via S-band & VHF. [The Lira system is a two-way communication system between the ISS RS and TsUP Mission Control via the Russian Luch relay satellite system (when it is complete). The RS comm subsystem can receive commands directly from RGS (Russian Ground Station) through the Regul subsystem and can receive commands from the Luch satellite through Lira or Regul. Efforts are underway to rebuild the Luch relay satellite system after many years of funds-related absence. Luch-5A was successfully launched on a Proton on 12/11/2011. Luch-5B & Luch 4 are scheduled for launch this year and 2013. This should provide the RS with 45 minutes of coverage per orbit via Lira and Regul.]Maybe someone can explain the difference between Lira and Regul. There is a description of Regul further on in the notes, but its still not clear:
In the SM, FE-4 Kononenko made preparations for tomorrow's scheduled R&R (removal & replacement) of the SA-325-I transmitter unit of the Regul-OS, gathering equipment & tools. [Located in the SM, Regul-OS is a subsystem of the RSUS Radio Control & Comm System of the RS (Russian Segment) for handling two-way voice communication, digital command/program information, and telemetry transmission via Russian RGS (Groundsites). Regul is the nominal uplink channel for all Russian commands; operating at a low data rate, it is equivalent to the US S-band system. The SA-325 block to be removed tomorrow is one of three redundant transmitters, each containing a transceiver (PPA) and Digital Processor (UtsO).]

Does this mean the Luch-5A can't be used?

No ! Luch-5 satellites also have sun and terrestrial sensors to find their orientation.
