2 "GLONASS-K" satellites show no response to commands from Earth

Command post was unable to take 2 out of 3 Russian navigational satellites "GLONASS-K" under control. The satellites were orbited on Sunday morning.

Source from cosmodrome informed that according to mission profile of flight, all 3 satellites detached from acceleration unit DM-3 and were set on appropriate orbits. By 12:21 Space troops should start control over satellites but testing process was delayed.
