It is worth noting that the launch was supposed to take place on March 20, but it was postponed for technical reasons. Later, Glavkosmos reported that the problem was in the ground support equipment of the upper stage. Today’s launch was successful.
The separation of the orbital block from the third stage of the launch vehicle took place in the normal mode, after which the Fregat upper stage will continue to launch 38 vehicles into three sun-synchronous orbits.
