Soyuz 2.1b/Fregat-M | Glonass-K2 No. 14 (Kosmos 2584)
Progress Rocket Space Center | RussiaPlesetsk Cosmodrome, Russian Federation
March 2, 2025, 10:22 p.m.
Status: Launch Successful
Mission:
Glonass-K2 are the fourth generation of satellite design 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 is unpressurized and weighs 1645 kg, and has an operational lifetime of 10 years.

Progress Rocket Space Center | RussiaVostochny Cosmodrome, Siberia, Russian Federation
Nov. 29, 2024, 9:50 p.m.
Status: Launch Successful
Mission:
The Kondor-FKA is a small civilian radar Earth observation satellite designed by NPO Mashinostroyeniya as a civilian counterpart to the Kondor-E satellite. The Kondor satellite features a S-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR), which can conduct both continous swath surweys or detailed spot surveys. The swath width is 10 km. Ground resolution is 1 to 2 m in spotlight mode, 1 to 3 m in stripmap mode and 5 to 30 m in ScanSAR mode.

Progress Rocket Space Center | RussiaVostochny Cosmodrome, Siberia, Russian Federation
Nov. 4, 2024, 11:18 p.m.
Status: Launch Successful
Mission:
Ionosfera is a constellation of four ionospheric and magnetospheric research satellites developed by for Roscosmos for the project Ionozond. The satellites will operate on circular sun-synchronous orbits (SSO), at altitude of about 800 km and located in two orbital planes of two satellites each. The following science instruments are carried on the satellites: * SPER/1 Plasma and energy radiation spectrometer * SG/1 Gamma-ray spectrometer * GALS/1 Galactic cosmic ray spectrometer / 1 * LAERTES On-board Ionosonde * NBK/2 Low-frequency wave complex * ESEP Ionospheric plasma energy spectrometer * Ozonometer-TM Ozonometer * MayaK On-board radio transmitters * PES GPS-GLONASS device The launch also include a secondary payload of 53 small satellites developed by various institutions and companies in Russia and other nations (including 2 from Iran) for technology demonstration, communication and Earth observation purposes.
Sun-Synchronous OrbitSoyuz 2.1a | Kosmos 2579 (Bars-M No. 6)
Progress Rocket Space Center | RussiaPlesetsk Cosmodrome, Russian Federation
Oct. 31, 2024, 7:51 a.m.
Status: Launch Successful
Mission:
Note: Payload identity uncertain. Bars-M is the second incarnation of the Bars project, which was started in the mid 1990ies to develop a successor for the Komtea class of area surveillance satellites. The original Bars project was halted in the early 2000s. In 2007, TsSKB-Progress was contracted for Bars-M, for which reportedly the Yantar-based service module was replaced by a new developed advanced service module. The Bars-M satellites feature an electro-optical camera system called Karat, which is developed and built by the Leningrad Optical Mechanical Association (LOMO), and a dual laser altimeter instrument to deliver topographic imagery, stereo images, altimeter data and high-resolution images with a ground resolution around 1 meter.
