maybe someone can answer this...
if Luch-5b was installed and operating during yesterdays EVA we could have had video in one area.
I don't believe (correct me if I'm wrong) that the US Ku band system is compatible with the Luch system or would be used by NASA even if it was. The Kibo module has a high data rate link but I don't think it's used by NASA. I'd be curious to see what if any cameras are on the Russian segment (inside or out) to provide video right now. Video from Russian spacewalks is via USOS exterior cameras and US provided helmet cams. Even the video from the Russian segment of new crew arrivals is done via cameras run from the US segment.
kinda hope this will be part of it...

Space-Track has two orbits for the stack
2012-61A object 38977
263 x 4996 km x 50.29 deg
390 x 35827 km x 48.68 deg
so, so far so good with 4 hours to go till the next burn at apogee
At this writing the stack is ascending through 20000 km

The first Briz-M burn must have ended at 2119UTC.
Some information about this launch on the TsUP page at http://www.mcc.rsa.ru/luch_5b.htm
The figure at the bottom of this page seems to have a misprint concerning Luch-5B orbital position; AFAIU it should be 16°W as mentionned on top of the page not 95°E (Luch-5A is now occupying 95°E)

I think this is an older (pre-late 2011) plan, now with Luch-4 cancelled (re-oriented to a different project, with a new Luch-5V as a replacement) and Luch-5A/B swapping orbital slots....

How did Briz-M do?
The anxious wait

Luch-5B unlike Luch-5A does not feature the COSPAS/SARSAT antennas on top. Yamal-300K unlike Amos-5 does feature additional antennas on top.
Does that mean antennas relocated to elsewhere on the satellite or no SARSAT system on board?

Object 38977 now appears to be the DTB drop tank, still being tracked today in transfer orbit - no tracking of the payloads or Briz-M yet
