If the Kanopus-V # 5 and #6 s/c will operate as members of a constellation with the other previous Kanopus satellites in SSO:
Then can a deduction be made as to where in the constellation these new s/c will be placed?
And therefore, a launch window?

Helios Wire are launching a satellite on this flight, probably called Helios Wire 3.
https://spacenews.com/helios-wire-sees-a-hidden-fortune-in-finding-lost-assets/"Helios is preparing to launch its first satellite in October on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. The firm’s previous attempt to send a satellite into orbit in November 2017 was unsuccessful because it was riding on a Russian Soyuz-2.1b rocket that failed. Helios plans to send another satellite into orbit on a
Soyuz in December and a third on a February Soyuz flight."

http://glavkosmos.com/news/26-piggyback-satellites-ready-for-launch-from-vostochny/26 PIGGYBACK SATELLITES READY FOR LAUNCH FROM VOSTOCHNY
21.12.2018
On December 20, assembling of the Soyuz-2.1a space head module (SHM) with the Russian Kanopus-V-5/6 satellites and foreign piggyback smallsats was completed in the Launch Vehicle Assembly, Integration & Test Building of the Vostochny Cosmodrome with participation of Glavkosmos and GK Launch Services specialists.
Total 26 satellites from Japan, the USA, Germany, Spain, and South Africa will be launched under the contracts of Glavkosmos and GK Launch Services.
15 out of those have been contracted by GK Launch Services.
GRUS, designed and assembled by Axelspace, is the next-generation microsatellite for AxelGlobe constellation, the Earth observation infrastructure to cover the Globe on a daily basis. GRUS has commercially strong telescopes to capture images at a resolution of 2.5m with a swath of 60km, all within a compact mass of roughly 100kg and designed to operate for at least 5 years.
The Flock 3k Payload consisting of twelve 3U Dove CubeSats was designed and built by Planet Labs Inc. (“Planet”), headquartered in San Francisco, USA. Flock 3k is Planet’s latest fleet of commercial, Earth Imaging satellites, which will be joining Planet’s currently on-orbit fleet of 100+ Dove satellites imaging the Earth at unprecedented scale and frequency. The Flock 3k satellites have a mass of 5 kg each and have an expected life time of up to three years. Planet’s commercial satellite imagery and added value products are used to serve customers in government, industry, non-profits, and academia.
Part of the payloads are provided by ISL (Innovative Space Logistics), the leading small satellite launch services operator of ISIS – Innovative Solutions In Space from the Delft, The Netherlands. ISL’s ISILaunch24 campaign is arranged on the Soyuz rocket under contract with GK Launch Services and consists of 14 satellites, including twelve 3U Dove CubeSats. The satellites are accommodated in ISIS’ well-known QuadPack deployers, controlled by an ISIS flight sequencer, similar to previous ISILaunch campaigns on Soyuz. With more than 50 satellites already launched on Soyuz in the past, part of over ISL’s track record of more than 300 satellites brought to orbit in total, ISL is pleased to continue its cooperation with GK on launching with Soyuz in future, with capacity on launches planned through 2021.
The spacecraft ZACube-2, created by experts of the Cape Peninsula University of Technological (CPUT) and French South African Institute of Technology (F’SATI) in South Africa, is a technology demonstrator. Its main payload, is a receiver for the automatic identification of ships (AIS). Additionally, the spacecraft has near-infrared imaging equipment for detecting forest fires. The spacecraft’s weight is about 3.5 kg with a lifetime in orbit of approximately 2 years.
The spacecraft Lume-1 is a 2-unit Cubesat, developed by the University of Vigo, Spain. Lume-1 will be used as the space segment and communication platform for the FIRE–RS system for early detection of natural disasters, in particular natural fires. The device is also a demonstrator of a number of new developments of the University of Vigo. The estimated service life time of the 2.5 kg spacecraft is 2 years.
The ECM SmallSat Cluster of eleven international CubeSats is delivered by the European smallsat integrator ECM Launch Services (Germany). The satellites will be launched as an auxiliary payload through the cluster mission contract with JSC Glavkosmos and will be accommodated into 12U ECM launch deployers developed by the integrator. After this launch the total number of microsats and CubeSats contracted and integrated by ECM Launch Services for the Soyuz-2 missions will reach 54.
The ECM SmallSat Cluster comprises the following satellites:
The D-Star ONE (iSat) and D-Star ONE (Sparrow) satellites are built on the basis of the second generation of the 3U CubeSat platform developed by German Orbital Systems GmbH, a private company from Germany. The satellites will demonstrate a number of new technologies, especially, in the field of services for the radio amateur community. Each satellite is also equipped with a new ADS-B receiver, developed in-house, that will be qualified in space.
The eight Lemur-class satellites of Spire Global Inc. (USA) are 3U CubeSats designed for collecting Automatic Identification System (AIS) ship tracking data, GPS Radio Occultation (GPS-RO) weather data and Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) airplane tracking data. The satellites will supplement the existing Spire’s constellation.
The UWE-4 satellite is a 1U CubeSat built by Würzburg University (Germany). It is designed to demonstrate an electric propulsion system and serves as a multidisciplinaty educational project of the university.

Yes, thank you, Steven, for the live coverage--I couldn't follow it live tonight.
EDIT after s/c deploys: Congratulations to the entire launch campaign team.

Congratulations to Roscosmos for the successful launch!
You can see Soyuz do about a 125 degree roll during launch.

Hi I can not get the you-tube coverage of the Soyuz 2.1a to down load. I am using Real-player. When I try to recorder the video, it said "can not fine video." Does anyone out there have a down loadable copy? Otis

So now we're just waiting for Roscosmos to confirm the Kanopus-V n°5 and n°6 S/C seps, but there's several hours still to come for the cubesats.
State of Play with the mission:

And of course, thanks again to Steven for the coverage!
I believe the NASASpaceflight article has a small error in the sentence: "The remaining satellites were all built to the CubeSat standard. Fourteen were contracted through Swiss company Innovative Solutions in Space (ISIS) as ISILaunch-24."
Innovative Solutions in Space (ISIS) is a Dutch company, not a Swiss company.

TLEs out now.
Two objects in 500 km orbit, presumably Kanopus-V 5 and 6. One object in 488 x 565 km, maybe GRUS or a debris object. 12 objects in 570 x 585 km, thought to be 8 Lemurs, iSat, Sparrow, UWE-4 and one unknown. 18 objects in 480 x 510 km; presumably 12 Doves, Lume-1, ZACUBE-2, but that leaves four unexpected extra objects (debris of some kind?)

Includes 4 dummy payloads because actual acts missed the delivery date to fly.

And ejected despite being dummies? That's what I find surprising, although it does seem to be the Russian practice.

Logo of ISL Launch #24, plus Grus-1 and UWE-4.
I hope, ISL clients don't get confused by this logo and are aware that their satellites have been launched in the opposite direction.

I suspect the separation has been preprogrammed into the Fregat mission before it became known that there will be a no show for these sats, and so it was decided that last-minute program change is not such a great idea.

Yes, rewriting and rechecking of flight program would delay the launch to 2019, so dummies of three SAMSON and one ICEYE were separated from Fregat.

Bing translation:
"The Earth Remote Sensing satellites Kanopus-V № 5 and № 6, which were put into orbit on the eve of the new 2019 of the year, transmitted the first images.
For the first time with spacecraft type "Kanopus-V" received information with 12 bit radiometric resolution
