Soyuz 2.1b/Fregat | Glonass-K1 No. 18 (Kosmos 2595) & Kosmos 2596
Progress Rocket Space Center | RussiaPlesetsk Cosmodrome, Russian Federation
Sept. 13, 2025, 2:10 a.m.
Status: Launch Successful
Mission:
Glonass-K1 are the third generation of satellite design for GLONASS satellite navigation system. GLONASS is a Russian space-based navigation system comparable to the similar GPS and Galileo systems. This generation improves on accuracy, power consumption and design life. Each satellite is unpressurized and weighs 935 kg, and has an operational lifetime of 10 years. This launch also carries Mozhayets-6 (Kosmos 2596), a small experimental satellite built by the Mozhaiskiy Military Space Academy of St. Petersburg.

Soyuz 2.1b | Bion-M No. 2
Progress Rocket Space Center | RussiaBaikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan
Aug. 20, 2025, 5:13 p.m.
Status: Launch Successful
Mission:
Bion-M is the next generation of Russian biological research satellites. While retaining the Vostok/Zenit-derived reentry module of the earlier Bion, the propulsion module has been replace by a Yantar type module, which provides maneuvering capabilities and longer mission support. The mission duration has been increased to up to 6 months by using solar cells for energy generation. The weight of scientific equipment has been increased by 100 kilograms.
Low Earth Orbit
Soyuz 2.1b/Fregat-M | Ionosfera-M 3 & 4
Progress Rocket Space Center | RussiaVostochny Cosmodrome, Siberia, Russian Federation
July 25, 2025, 5:54 a.m.
Status: Launch Successful
Mission:
Ionosfera is a constellation of four ionospheric and magnetospheric research satellites developed by for Roscosmos for the project Ionozond. The satellites will operate on circular sun-synchronous orbits (SSO), at altitude of about 800 km and located in two orbital planes of two satellites each. The following science instruments are carried on the satellites: * SPER/1 Plasma and energy radiation spectrometer * SG/1 Gamma-ray spectrometer * GALS/1 Galactic cosmic ray spectrometer / 1 * LAERTES On-board Ionosonde * NBK/2 Low-frequency wave complex * ESEP Ionospheric plasma energy spectrometer * Ozonometer-TM Ozonometer * MayaK On-board radio transmitters * PES GPS-GLONASS device
