Soyuz 2.1b/Fregat-M | Glonass-M No. 61 (Kosmos 2564)
Progress Rocket Space Center | RUSPlesetsk Cosmodrome, Russian Federation
Nov. 28, 2022, 3:17 p.m.
Status: Launch Successful
Mission:
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.

Status: Launch Successful
Mission:
Gonets-M are an upgraded version of Gonets satellites, derived from military communications system Strela-3. Gonets-M constellation is tasked with monitoring ecological and industrial objects, providing communication and data transmission services, covering also the remote areas like the Far North region. Also onboard is the Skif-D demonstration satellite for the planned Russian Sfera LEO communication satellite constellation.

Soyuz 2.1b/Fregat | Glonass-K1 No. 17 (Kosmos 2559)
Progress Rocket Space Center | RUSPlesetsk Cosmodrome, Russian Federation
Oct. 10, 2022, 2:52 a.m.
Status: Launch Successful
Mission:
Glonass-K are the third 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 935 kg, and has an operational lifetime of 10 years.
Medium Earth OrbitSoyuz 2.1a | Soyuz MS-22
Progress Rocket Space Center | RUSBaikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan
Sept. 21, 2022, 1:54 p.m.
Status: Launch Successful
Mission: Human Exploration
Soyuz MS-22 carried Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergei Prokopeyev, Dmitry Petelin and NASA astronaut Frank Rubio to the International Space Station aboard the Soyuz spacecraft from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. The spacecraft suffered a thermal control system depressurization/leak on the ISS on December 15, 2022, possibly due to micrometeor impact. It will land back on Earth without crew and will be replaced by Soyuz MS-23.
