http://ria.ru/science/20130708/948317668.htmlTwo satellites "Glonass" will be launched from Plesetsk in September-October
MOSCOW, Jul 8 - RIA Novosti. Sputnik Two "Glonass" planiruetsâ forsake the spaceport Plesetsk (Arkhangelsk Oblast) in September and October current years, soobŝil RIA Novosti gendirektor-genkonstruktor OAO "Information Satellite System name Rešetneva" (ISS, company-Manufacturer satellites ) Nikolai Testoedov.
Earlier it was reported that this year, plans to launch a Glonass satellite from Plesetsk in December.
"In December, from Plesetsk we do not plan to run. This year we are planning to launch two more" GLONASS "from Plesetsk, just filling in the group (GLONASS), due to a recent accident (rocket" Proton-M "). Needed devices we will deliver into orbit over the next four months, that is until October. first satellite "Glonass" We plan to launch (from Plesetsk) at the beginning of September, the second - at the end of October, "- Testoedov said, adding that the satellites will be launched with the help rocket "Soyuz".
Emergency "Proton-M" was launched just before the scheduled time
According to him, today the GLONASS constellation is not in danger, it is fully operational (24 active satellites).
Russian rocket with three navigation spacecraft "Glonass-M" fell on July 2 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in the first minute of the start. The head of Roscosmos, Vladimir Popovkin, previously said the rocket was launched at 0.4 seconds before the scheduled time, but this was not the cause of an emergency. According to him, the commission investigating the causes of the accident can call her reasons later this month.

Do we know if the satellite (#751?) has been delivered to the launch site yet? (for comparison #747 was delivered roughly one month before the launch date, so this one should happen very soon, if not already done)

Interesting that it's GLONASS-M #754 that was delivered. #751-753 for the next Proton-M/DM launch?
Also it seems that a new "high-temperature stabilization unit" is installed on it for testing - what's that?

78085168.
This serial number for the rocket reveals a couple of curious things. The first three digits are for the factory, the next two for half-year and year codes, and then the last three are the serial number.
If all the ‘16x’ serial numbers were ordered as a batch, and taking in the year codes then this rocket was intended for the second half of 2007.
It is near it’s 6˝ year warranty period.
I wonder what satellite it was intended to launch?

This satellite should be heading for plane III as one of the satellites there, #724 (
launched 2008 - apparently all six of them launched that year suffers from chip degradation problems such that only one of them is now usable) failed last month, forcing the revival of satellite #714 to fill in the place, however it is already 7+ years old (launched Christmas 2005) and probably does not have much operational life left.
Someone at the NK forums calculated the in-plane launch time for plane III to be ~22:49 UTC on March 24 (which gives the opportunity that the actual launch time is on March 23 GMT).

According to my tables, if this launch is successful, this will be the 5000th successful orbital launch (using a very basic 'successful launch definition').
Can anyone confirm this?
Thanks!

I can only say that it will be 3168th Russian orbital launch, considering Sea Launch and Guiana Soyuzes as "Russian" launches...

http://ria.ru/space/20140323/1000698832.html reports a launch time of 22:54 UTC and spacecraft separation time of 02:26 UTC - but also states that the Fregat upper stage should separate at 22:57 UTC (well I hope not
) so.......

Thanks!
If your "basic successful launch definition" means that it gets a NORAD designation number after something gets into orbit, then I think it should be very close.....
hmmm I got this as the 4999th one - can you check if you have counted one too much?

Looks like the "500th launch of Plesetsk area 43" claim needs to be re-checked as Andrey's list shows this as the 490th orbital launch out of area 43 (276 from pad 4 and 214 from pad 3), plus 1 R-7A and 1 sub-orbital Soyuz-2-1 launch.
A possible explanation is that the "500th launch" milestone is for the squadron no. 14056 that did the launch, and the list may have included several launch attempts, aborts and maybe R-7 ICBM launches from other pads.

It was easy to find the difference... I'm counting the EXPRESS Mu-3S-II (M-3S2-8) launch on January 15, 1995, as a orbital launch. Initially thought as a failed launch, the capsule was latter found in Ghana after orbiting Earth. This was not catalogued, but I'm counting it as an orbital launch success.

Another point is, wether to count Discoverer-1 as orbital. At the time it received the orbital id "1959 Beta 1", but is now considered a failed launch, which did not reach orbit.

Good point! So, that changes all and the 5000th successful orbital launch will be the NROL-67 mission... if successful.

anik, you wrote "Block 48s" in the "plan of Russian launches" thread. Do you have more information on this ?
It now looks like they are allocating the ‘blok’ numbers on a sequential, per launch basis. This has been allocated blok 48с, a number previously allocated to the failed launch last year.
http://www.oosa.unvienna.org/pdf/icg/2013/icg-8/wgA/A1_1.pdf
At the time of ordering it was scheduled to be launch number 50s. After the recent failures these plans changed; and more recent government procurements of rockets and services have omitted the launch numbers. Latest order was for three Soyuz rockets and five fairings; no sequence number or indication of GLONASS satellite model to be launched.
They also ordered rockets and pieces for the third K, and I guess these will actually be used for a different launch with the recent delays to the K models.

GLONASS-M #754 has been set to usable on April 14 - unfortunately this was overshadowed by the malfunctioning of satellite #730 in plane I 4 days earlier so the GLONASS system currently only has 23 satellites in operation right now.
Plus the system suffers from yet another major failure on April 14, leaving 8 of the satellites transmitting error messages for half an hour. Whoops....

The original plans for launch of GLONASS on Soyuz have changed. Early on Baikonur was to host the first solo launches by Soyuz, along with triplets on Proton. The first two fairings ordered for Soyuz rockets were to be sent to Baikonur.
A contract dated 15th March 2010 was for third stage engine 14Д23 № 5Л, to be used for a rocket to launch «GLONASS № 1».
It looks like this rocket was intended to launch a GLONASS after all; but from Baikonur.
