Hi!

Can someone help me in identifiyng the following objects (I don't like the
OIG names):

03-015B  27776      Block DM-2M                       8K82K Proton-K DM-2M
GIK-5 Baikonur, LC81 PU-24

03-015C  27777      Platform                                    8K82K
Proton-K DM-2M                   GIK-5 Baikonur, LC81 PU-24

03-015D 27778       Aux motor                            8K82K Proton-K
DM-2M                   GIK-5 Baikonur, LC81 PU-24

03-015E  27779       Aux motor                       8K82K Proton-K DM-2M
GIK-5 Baikonur, LC81 PU-24

03-015F  27780      SL-12 RB (2)                          8K82K Proton-K
DM-2M                   GIK-5 Baikonur, LC81 PU-24



My question is what's the meaning of  'Platform', 'aux motor' and also de
'SL-12 RB (2)'. Are the aux motors something like 'kick motors' on the
satellite? Also, I thought that on the 8K82K Proton-K DM-2M launches, only
the Block DM-2M was the only stage of the rocket to reach Earth orbit, and
if so what is the SL-12 RB (2)?



Thank you for any help on this!
