The next Soyuz launches from Baikonur will take place in August and September.RCC "Progress": the next launches of rockets "Soyuz" from Baikonur will be held in August and September.14:54 07.06.2022MOSCOW, June 7 - RIA Novosti. The next launches of Soyuz rockets from the Baikonur Cosmodrome will take place in August and September this year, RIA Novosti was told in the press service of the Progress Rocket and Space Center (RKC), where these rockets are manufactured."Further launches of the Soyuz-2 launch vehicle from the Baikonur Cosmodrome are scheduled for August and September 2022," the press service said.What spacecraft will be launched into orbit is not specified.Earlier, the head of Roskosmos , Dmitry Rogozin , said that the rocket and space industry had set the goal of multiplying the Russian orbital constellation.Later, he also noted that until the end of 2022, the Baikonur Cosmodrome expects "active work", and in general, the second half of the year will be "intensive" here.https://ria.ru/20220607/soyuz-1793749262.html
Is it possible that an unlicensed copy of the Project 505 satellite could be built by Iran's aerospace industry vis-a-vis Iran's reverse-engineering of components for the Projects 505 in order to provide the Islamic Revolutionary Guards with greater abilities to spy on Israel and US bases on the Arabian Peninsula in order to provide Iran's space sector with propaganda value?

According to Iran Press news agency, the Iranian Space Agency announced in a report that in a joint cooperation with Russia, the Iranian Khayam satellite will be launched from the Baikonur space station ( Baikonur Cosmodrome) in Kazakhstan next week by a Soyuz satellite Carrier.The report points out that the Khayyam satellite is an important step for providing satellite data and developing the applications of the space industry in Iran.Furthermore, this satellite, which is owned by the Iran Space Agency, will provide suitable infrastructure for the smartening of different parts of the country, with accurate sensors in different spectrums.The report continued that data received from the Khayyam satellite, will be used in improving productivity in the field of agriculture, careful monitoring of Iran's water resources, managing natural hazards, monitoring changes in land use, unauthorized constructions and dealing with deforestation, monitoring environmental hazards, monitoring mines and discoveries as well as mining, monitoring Iran's borders.
The launch of a Soyuz-2.1b carrier rocket with the Hayyam spacecraft and a cluster of 38 satellites from 18 countries is scheduled for August 9 at 11.52.38 Nur-Sultan time.

In the main thread about Russian launches the 16 cubesats are listed from Space-Pi 004 to Space-Pi 019. Which are the first 3?
Regarding the launch vehicle change from Soyuz-2.1a to Soyuz-2.1b:RH117 reports that references to the use now of a Soyuz-2.1b and Fregat purchased by OneWeb have been removed from NK forum posts.He further suggests that if serial numbers are captured in photo or video clips, then the censored statements or assertions can be confirmed or denied.
I think, it should be Fregat-M, not just Fregat. Am I right?
Russia to launch spy satellite for Iran but use it first over UkraineBy Joby Warrick and Ellen Nakashima August 4, 2022 at 1:34 p.m. EDTA new satellite that Russia is preparing to launch on Iran’s behalf next week will greatly enhance Tehran’s ability to spy on military targets across the Middle East — but first, Moscow intends to use the spacecraft to assist its own war effort in Ukraine, according to Western security officials familiar with the matter.Russia’s Roscosmos space agency announced an Aug. 9 launch date for the satellite, dubbed “Khayyam” after a 12th-century Persian mathematician, in fulfillment of a deal negotiated with Iran over nearly four years. Russia agreed to build and launch the Kanopus-V system, which will include a high-resolution camera that would give Tehran unprecedented capabilities, including near-continuous monitoring of sensitive facilities in Israel and the Persian Gulf.But Iran may not be able to take control of the satellite right away. Russia, which has struggled to achieve its military objectives in its five-month-old assault on Ukraine, has told Tehran that it plans to use the satellite for several months, or longer, to enhance its surveillance of military targets in that conflict, the two officials said on the condition of anonymity, citing sensitivities surrounding intelligence collection.The Russian Embassy in Washington declined to comment....

Since Razbeg itself has probably not flown yet, the Russians will first want to put the new platform through its paces, using the battlefield in Ukraine as a target of observation. 2) Russia currently has only two satellites for detailed optical reconnaissance, namely the aging Persona satellites launched in 2013 and 2015. These are unlikely to fully satisfy the needs for optical reconnaissance during the current war. It is not inconceivable that the use of the Iranian satellite for Russia's own purposes was discussed during Putin's recent visit to Iran. As a reminder, Putin vehemently denied the existence of a Russian-built spy satellite for Iran when asked about it in an interview with NBC in June last year. It will be interesting to see if any pictures of the satellite are released after launch. If Khayyam indeed uses the same platform as Razbeg, that is unlikely to happen. So far no pictures or footage of launch preparations have been released, nor has any live coverage of the launch been announced. It looks very much like this is being treated as a military launch.
T+10 minutes. Something about "bloka" and that's the end of the webcast.
Fregat serial number is 123-06 (that's one of the Fregats originally allocated for OneWeb missions)

Khayyam satellite is a remote sensing satellite belonging to the Islamic Republic of Iran. All orders related to the control and operation of this satellite will be carried out and issued immediately after the launch by Iranian experts based in the space bases belonging to the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology in the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Isa Zarepour, Minister of Communications, who is in Kazakhstan, said: This is the beginning of a strategic cooperation between Iran and Russia in the space field, of course, this cooperation has lasted for several years, but in the 13th government, with the efforts of my colleagues in the Ministry of Communications and The Ministry of Foreign Affairs achieved this goal.He emphasized: This satellite is a very big step for providing the country's space data, and we can use its images with high accuracy to improve the country's space applications in the fields of environment and agriculture.Zarepour pointed out: We have strategic cooperation with famous countries in the world's space industry, such as Russia, and we have the development of indigenous space technology on our agenda, and by the end of this year, we will achieve targeting of a sensing satellite in a 500-kilometer space orbit.The Minister of Communications stated: Now we can put light satellites in orbit. Khayyam satellite weighs 600 kg and is supposed to be placed in an orbit 500 kilometers from the earth. Until the end of the 13th government, we will witness indigenous satellites and satellite carriers being launched into space by the elites of our country, until then we will continue to cooperate with the countries that have this technology to provide the data needed by the country.
Never mind, launch success was just confirmed on Roscosmos telegram channel.
The Ministry of Communications called the launch of the Iranian satellite "Khayyam" a success and announced: Moments ago, the first telemetry data of the Khayyam satellite was received at the ground stations of this satellite at the space bases of the Iranian Space Organization.
Anatoly Zak reports that this launch used the paid rocket previously assigned to the Glavkosmos flight with CAS500-2 Etal:http://russianspaceweb.com/khayam.html

The live webcast shown on Roskosmos TV did not show the usual animation of the launch vehicle after separation of the four strap-on boosters. Instead, the webcast switched to a view of the launch pad. However, it turns out there was another live webcast that did have animation of the rocket (possibly provided by TsENKI). This disguised the true design of the satellite by depicting it as a featureless black box. I’ve only seen this version of the webcast on two Iranian YouTube channels.youtube.com/watch?v=NnsY8TpE-4U
