SCC has as yet registered only one of the 3 1415 kg GLONASS payloads as #27617 (2002-060A) aka Cosmos 2394. #27618 must be Cosmos 2395 #27619 must be Cosmos 2396 Registered is #27620 (2002-060D) - It looks like the upper stage. I am still missing the "Platform" aka casing and the 3.stage of the Proton booster. Our experience from the last GLONASS launches had shown a very early decay of these objects, sometimes over the western parts of the USA. It is very possible that the "Platform and the 3. stage are now decayed but have the SCC both not registered? Was it - in respect to the 3.stage - a suborbital flight profil as we have seen in the past with heavy communication payloads? But the casing is a part of the DM stage....
