  According to http://www.gonets.ru/showNews10.html, two Gonets-D1 and three Gonets-M satellites are currently working in Gonets-D1M communication system.
  
  Three Gonets-M satellites (12, 13, 15) were launched into one orbital plane. The next three Gonets-M satellites (14, 16, 17) will be launched into another orbital plane. At first, there will be four orbital planes in Gonets-D1M system with three satellites in each.

  I think that should read 'First stage burn was scheduled to end at 2325:06 UTC'
  
• #15 by Satori on 11 Sep, 2013 23:54
• I can confirm that the satellites are 14, 16 and 17.
