interesting, so no sanctions and business as usual where they need Russian tech.

Very interesting indeed. The important bits of the spacecraft, like the engines, are Russian, even if the rocket has the American flag on the outside!

Good news. Orbital group of telecom satellites now working in fully functional regime.

Three Gonets-M satellites will be part of Russia’s low-orbit grouping of telecoms satellites designed to provide communications services for remote areas of Russia.

Proton-M Launch With Express-AM8 Satellite Scheduled Today

Russian Federal Space Agency announced that a Proton-M carrier rocket launch with a Russian Express-АМ8 telecommunications satellite is scheduled for Monday evening.

MOSCOW — A Proton-M Carrier rocket launch with a Russian Express-АМ8 Telecommunications Satellite is scheduled for Monday evening, a spokesperson for the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) has said.

It is the second launch after an incident in May, when a Proton-M carrier rocket failed to deliver the Mexican MexSat-1 satellite into orbit. The first successful launch of the Proton-M carrier rocket with the British telecommunications satellite Inmarsat-5F3 took place on August 28.
"The launch is scheduled for 10:00 p.m. Moscow time [19:00 GMT] on September 14. The separation of the Express-AM8 [satellite] from the Briz-M upper stage is expected to take place on September 15, at 4:37 a.m. Moscow time [01:37 GMT]," the spokesperson told RIA Novosti.
Express-AM8 has an operational life-time of 15 years. The satellite's weight is 2,100 kilograms (4,629 pounds), with the payload mass of 661 kilograms (1,457 pounds).

The satellite is designed to provide television and radio broadcasting, data transmission, multimedia services, presidential and governmental communications, telephony, mobile communication in the territory of western and central Russia, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, as well as South and North America.
