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.

So does the Russian segment need any new equipment to transmit KU-band for Luch or will it go through the USOS Ku-band antenna? If the russian side is independent, any chance of sharing data from both sides as was previously done on the USOS for the Russian side?

When is the timetable for Luch-5A to go active?

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.

Amos-5 (which is an Express-1000N)
Jonathan, the name of the platform is given as Express 1000
H in English by ISS Reshetnev (so the H does not seem to be Cyrillic for N here
)
The spacecraft is based on ISS Reshetnev’s Express 1000H unpressurized platform

But the russian version of this same press release speaks of Экспресс-1000Н which would transliterate to Express 1000N ??!

We need new equipment inside and outside of Russian segment for the using of new Luch satellites and we will use ONA antenna on Zvezda module.

To add to the topic of the name of the Amos-5 platform, here is the flyer from Reshetnev apparently setting for an "H" in English

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

Thanks Nicolas, but I'm not convinced.
Could our Russian colleagues step in and tell us what is the correct designation of Amos-5 platform
in English?
