10/11 Russian Space Forces, One Failure, One Successful
the Russian Military space forces has reported that the Cosmos-2321
satellite, launched on October 6, 1995, entered the wrong orbit after
separation from its booster.
After checking system on board the spacecraft, controllers confirm
that the spacecraft is in good health and operating. Preliminary
investigations have reported a malfunction in the second-stage of the
Cosmos-3M booster.
On a better note, the Russian military space forces launched a new
generation retransmitting satellite today from the Baikonur Cosmodrome
in Kazakhstan.
The Luch-1 satellite weighing 2.4 Tons blasted off on a heavy Proton-k
booster at 19:26 hours Moscow time (14:26 gmt) and was scheduled to
reach a geostationary orbit of 36,000 kilometers seven hours after
launch.
At present, two retransmitting Luch satellites are working in space.
The new generation Luch-1 will increase the capacity of the channels
nearly by three and its service lifetime is twice as long.
