In the thesis that illustration on page 84 is the Karat?

Also there is a connection with Millimetron telescope.

This is from another PhD dissertation. Karat and the Millimetron optical system are presented as two examples of modern optical-electronic systems for satellites, but there doesn't appear to be any commonality between them, apart from the use of "off-axis optical elements". The thesis has a description of Karat's triplet objective, which is called "Kuka".

According to NK forum, the first Bars satellite was shipped off to the Plesetsk and the launch is scheduled for late February.

Are there any hints that this thing is going up on the last known date of Feb. 21? A cursory search for airspace closures on the possible drop zones yields nothing...

Still nothing found as of a few hours ago so I believe that the last known date is no longer true. Let's see if official press releases or new air-space closures will come first, whenever that happen....

launcher is already assembled. as this is a delayable mission could see it again at end of February or same time in March

Launch is scheduled for 28th February 2015.

So launch could happen from February 27 at 1105UTC

Hmm what's the launch azimuth? This looks like at least a 100 degree inclination orbit.....

How does it compare to Persona?

Yes Stan , I was just about to post the same link

If the satellite is going to a true Sun-synchronous orbit then the launch azimuth and thus the orbital inclination will be a function of the planned orbital altitude. To maintain the 0.9856 deg/day precession rate the orbital altitude increases with the orbital inclination.

0.9856= 360/ 365.25

Assuming that the launch is successful I assume that this will become Cosmos 2504 (unless the Russians want to confuse us some more with Cosmos numbers!).
