They are separated from the upper stage "Fregat" at the height of 478 to 522 kilometers.
The missile was launched, as planned, at 5: 07 GMT. Her, except for 2 Russian vehicles, an additional 26 satellites from Japan, USA, Germany, Spain and South Africa.
From 7: 30 to 7: 57 at an altitude of 585 kilometers of the planned separation apparatus GRUS Japanese, German D-Star ONE (iSat), D-Star ONE (Sparrow), UWE-4 and eight American Lemur.
With 9: 13 to 9: 43 the expected separation of the remaining 14 small satellites for foreign and 4 layouts of the satellites at the altitude of 495 kilometers.
at 10: 00 block to disperse "Fregat" will include the engine for the deorbit and 10: 25 will enter the atmosphere.
This is the seventeenth and latest start for Russian space program in 2018, if not to take into account the 3 start of the rocket "Soyuz" From Kourou in French Guiana.
This launch was the fourth in the history of the new Russian cosmodrome.
Previous start was the first of February. Then on orbit brought the Two spacecraft "kanopus-V" - number 3 and 4. There is also working "kanopus-V" 1, launched in 2012, With the Baikonur cosmodrome, and the satellite BSA ( "Belarusian spacecraft" ), which has a similar design and purpose, as well as the "kanopus-V-IR" With infrared camera.
in 2019 it is With Eastern expected to hold a launch of the spacecraft "meteor-M" No. 2. 2.
Satellites "Canopus-b" is designed for monitoring man-made and natural emergencies. The presence of several spacecraft gives the opportunity to increase the frequency of the review of the earth's surface and make the satellite data more timely.
