But I notice that the TASS stories are careful not to give the satellite any name, Kosmos or otherwise... have they just
given up?

Merry Christmas everyone! Just come back from our Christmas picnic in the park.

Here's a clip showing another view of the launch.

As far as I understand this is the 1st article 14Ф145, but the serial number is №802. Its predecessor Kosmos-2455 is an article 14Ф138, serial number №801. This is not so odd. The last Argon satellite Kosmos-1542 was article 11Ф645 №792, and was followed by an Oblik satellite Kosmos-1580 article 17Ф116 №793. Resurs-F1 article 17Ф41 №158 Kosmos-1746 was followed by article 14Ф40 №159 Kosmos-1762.

Being a bit too logical, it is communicating data ..... right? ;)

Did the fairing have a different serial number to the rocket?
