Russia resumes GLONASS-K launches
The newest-generation satellite for the Russian GLONASS navigation constellation reached orbit after a nearly six-year hiatus. The liftoff of the Soyuz-2-1b/Fregat rocket, carrying GLONASS-K No. 15L satellite, took place as scheduled on October 25, 2020, and the spacecraft was reported to be delivered into planned orbit around 3.5 hours later.
