Soyuz 2.1b/Fregat | EKS 3 (Tundra 3) (Kosmos 2541)
Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center | RUSPlesetsk Cosmodrome, Russian Federation
Sept. 26, 2019, 7:46 a.m.
Soyuz-FG | Soyuz MS-15
Russian Federal Space Agency (ROSCOSMOS) | RUSBaikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan
Sept. 25, 2019, 1:57 p.m.
Status: Success
Mission: Human Exploration
Soyuz MS-15 begins expedition 61 by carrying NASA astronaut Jessica Meir, Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Skripochka and United Arab Emirates’ Hazzaa Ali Almansoori, a Roscosmos spaceflight participant and first Emirati in space that will spend only 8 days aboard ISS before returning to Earth aboard a Soyuz MS-12.

Rokot / Briz-KM | Geo-IK-2 N13L (Kosmos 2540)
Russian Aerospace Defence Forces | RUSPlesetsk Cosmodrome, Russian Federation
Aug. 30, 2019, 2 p.m.
Status: Success
Mission: Earth Science
Geo-IK-2 is a Russian geodesy mission to deliver precise three-dimensional maps of the Earth’s surface and gravitational data for use in scientific studies and military applications. Using GLONASS for accurate positioning data, the 1400kg satellite will operate in a 1000km polar orbit.

Soyuz 2.1a | Soyuz MS-14 Uncrewed
Russian Federal Space Agency (ROSCOSMOS) | RUSBaikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan
Aug. 22, 2019, 3:38 a.m.
Status: Success
Mission: Resupply
Uncrewed Soyuz MS spacecraft to bring cargo to the space station. This demo flight tests a modified motion and navigation control system, as well as mating to Soyuz-2.1a rocket. The results will be used in development of an uncrewed cargo vehicle, based on Soyuz spacecraft.
Low Earth OrbitSoyuz 2.1a | Progress MS-12 (73P)
Russian Federal Space Agency (ROSCOSMOS) | RUSBaikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan
July 31, 2019, 12:10 p.m.
Soyuz 2.1a/Fregat | Meridian-M №18
Russian Space Forces | RUSPlesetsk Cosmodrome, Russian Federation
July 30, 2019, 5:56 a.m.
Status: Success
Mission: Communications
The Meridian series of communications satellites is reported to be the replacement for all the Molniya-1T, the Molniya-3 and Molniya-3K satellite series and possibly also for the communication component of the Parus. They are launched into highly eccentric Molniya-orbits. Meridian is the highly eccentric orbit (HEO) component of the Integrated Satellite Communications System (ISSS), where they work in conjunction with the geostationary Raduga-1M (Globus-M) satellites. The bus structure is reportedly pressurized, possibly based on the Uragan-M bus. Meridian satellites carry three transponders operating in different frequency bands.
Soyuz-FG | Soyuz MS-13
Russian Federal Space Agency (ROSCOSMOS) | RUSBaikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan
July 20, 2019, 4:28 p.m.
Status: Success
Mission: Human Exploration
Soyuz MS-13 begins expedition 60 by carrying NASA astronaut Andrew Morgan, Luca Parmitano of ESA (European Space Agency) and Alexander Skvortsov of the Russian space agency Roscosmos launch to the International Space Station aboard the Soyuz spacecraft from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

Soyuz 2.1v/Volga | Kosmos 2535, Kosmos 2536, Kosmos 2537, Kosmos 2538
Russian Space Forces | RUSPlesetsk Cosmodrome, Russian Federation
July 10, 2019, 5:14 p.m.
Soyuz 2.1b/Fregat | Meteor-M №2-2 & rideshare payloads
Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center | RUSVostochny Cosmodrome, Siberia, Russian Federation
July 5, 2019, 5:41 a.m.
Status: Success
Mission: Earth Science
This is the fourth spacecraft in the Russian Meteor-M series of remote sensing satellites. Weighing about 2750 kg, it is intended to gather hydrometeorological data from sun-synchronous orbit. This includes monitoring ozone layer and radiation levels in the near-Earth space, as well as monitoring ocean surface temperatures and ice conditions.
Soyuz 2.1b/Fregat-M | Glonass-M No. 58
Russian Space Forces | RUSPlesetsk Cosmodrome, Russian Federation
May 27, 2019, 6:23 a.m.
Status: Success
Mission: Navigation
Glonass-M, also known as Uragan-M, are the second generation of Uragan satellite design used for GLONASS satellite navigation system. GLONASS is a Russian space-based navigation system comparable to the similar GPS and Galileo systems. This generation improves on accuracy, power consumption and design life. Each satellite weighs 1415 kg, is equipped with 12 L-band antennas, and has an operational lifetime of 7 years.
