Today, on December 18, 2019, at 11:54 (Moscow time) from the launch pad of the Guiana Space Center, the "Soyuz-ST-A" launch vehicle with the "Fregat-M" upper stage and the COSMO-SG and CHEOPS European satellites and with three commercial satellites was successfully launched.

On November 25, 2019, at 20:52 (Moscow time) from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in the Arkhangelsk Region was launched the "Soyuz 2.1v" light carrier rocket (developed in the RSC "Progress", part of Roscosmos State Corporation) with a spacecraft, designed in the interests of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

The "Proton-M" launch vehicle, intended for launching the EUTELSAT 5 West B and MEV-1 satellites, was delivered from the Khrunichev Space Center (part of the State Corporation "Roscosmos") to the Baikonur cosmodrome.

Today, on June 28, 2019, specialists of Roscosmos enterprises, using a transborder gallery, transported the space head part, assembled the day before, to the Assembly and Testing facility of the launch vehicle. In the Assembly hall, the joint team of specialists in accordance with the complex schedule performed the assembly of the head part with the third stage of the carrier. Launch is scheduled for July 5, 2019.

The "Proton-M" carrier rocket with the "Breeze-M" upper stage, launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome on May 30 at 20:42 (Moscow time), successfully delivered the "Yamal-601" telecommunication satellite into the target orbit in the interests of the Russian satellite operator Gazprom Space systems. The "Yamal-601" will replace the "Yamal-202" satellite in orbit and will provide fixed-line communications and data transmission services in the C-band in a large part of Russia, as well as in the CIS, Europe, and the Middle East and Southeast Asia. In addition, "Yamal-601" will provide for users on the territory of Russia communication services and high-speed Internet access.

oday in the morning, the "Proton-M" launch vehicle with the "Breeze-M" upper stage and the Russian "Yamal-601" communications satellite was rolled out to the launch pad at the Baikonur cosmodrome. The launch of the "Yamal-601" telecommunications satellite, manufactured by the French division of Thales Alenia Space according to the order of the Russian satellite operator JSC Gazprom Space Systems, is scheduled for May 30. The "Yamal-601" project is part of the Federal Program for the Development of Television and Radio Broadcasting in the Russian Federation.

On May 17, the assembly of the head part of the "Proton-M" space rocket for the launch of the Russian communications satellite "Yamal-601" began at the Baikonur cosmodrome. Currently, the "Yamal-601" assembled with the transition system developed by the Khrunichev Space Center. After completing the electrical checks of the “assembly” of the "Yamal-601" spacecraft with transition system, experts will assemble it with the "Breeze-M" upper stage. The launch of the "Proton-M" launch vehicle with the "Breeze-M" upper stage and the "Yamal-601" satellite will be performed in the interests of Gazprom Space Systems.

Specialists of Roscosmos enterprises at the Baikonur cosmodrome started operations to fuel the "Spectrum-RG" spacecraft with fuel components, and this operations will last for several days. The launch is scheduled for June 21, 2019. "Spectrum-RG" is a project, aimed for creating an orbital astrophysical observatory, designed to study the Universe in the X-ray wavelength range.

The GLONASS national navigation satellite system will receive five new satellites in 2019. This is stated in the GLONASS Development Strategy until 2030, reports TASS News Agency. Now the GLONASS orbital group includes 26 satellites, 24 of them are in operation, one is at the flight test stage, another one is in the orbital reserve.

On April 25, the Space Astrophysical Observatory "Spectrum-RG" was delivered from Sheremetyevo International Airport by AN-124-100 aircraft to Baikonur Cosmodrome. The launch of the spacecraft into orbit will be carried out by the "Proton-M" carrier rocket (produced by Khrunichev Space Center) and the DM-03 upper stage (produced by RSC "Energia"). Launch is scheduled for June 21, 2019.
