The launch mission is to deliver an Earth observation Kanopus-V-IK satellite and 72 smallsats piggybacked under the federal and commercial contracts of Glavkosmos to their target orbits.
The spacecraft launched under the Russian federal contracts are as follows:
MKA-N 1 6U-CubeSat (Russia, Dauria Aerospace in the order of Roscosmos);
MKA-N 2 6U-CubeSat (Russia, Dauria Aerospace in the order of Roscosmos).
The spacecraft launched under Glavkosmos contracts are as follows:
Flying Laptop microsatellite (Germany);
TechnoSat microsatellite (Germany);
WNISAT-1R microsatellite (Japan);
NorSat-1 microsatellite (Norway/Canada);
NorSat-2 microsatellite (Norway/Canada);
48 Dove 3U-CubeSats as part of Flock-2k (USA);
3 CICERO 6U-CubeSats (USA);
2 Corvus-BC 6U-CubeSats (USA);
8 LEMUR 3U-CubeSats (USA);
NanoACE 3U-CubeSat (USA);
Mayak 3U-CubeSat (the Moscow Polytechnic University);
Iskra-MAI-85 3U-CubeSat (the Moscow Aviation Institute);
Ekvador UTE-YuZGU 1U-CubeSat (the South-Western State University).
72 smallsats make the mission setting a record in a number of spacecraft to be injected into several target orbits among smallsats launches ever.
The flight timeline is as follows:
09:36:49 – launch vehicle lift-off;
09:38:46 – 1st stage separation;
09:41:36 – 2nd stage separation;
09:41:38 – fairing jettison;
09:45:37 – head module separation;
09:45:42 – 09:52:18 – Fregat upper stage flight to a transfer orbit;
10:35:01 – 10:36:27 – Fregat upper stage flight to the Kanopus-V-IK separation orbit;
10:38:07 – Kanopus-V-IK separation (orbit i=97.44°; H = 522.5km; h = 478.6km);
11:13:29 – 11:14:35 – Fregat upper stage flight to the second transfer orbit;
11:58:29 – 11:59:35 – Fregat upper stage flight to the separation orbit of a group of smallsats;
12:01:43 – 12:05:03 – Phase 1. Separation of 5 smallsats (orbits i=97.61°; H = 601.5-600.1km; h = 600.0-590.1km);
12:10:03 – 12:26:43 – Phase 2. Separation of 19 smallsats (orbits i=97.62-97.61°; H = 601.0-606.9km; h = 580.1-587.4km);
12:51:49 – 12:53:15 – Fregat upper stage flight to the third transfer orbit;
13:34:39 – 13:35:51 – Fregat upper stage flight to the separation orbit of a group of smallsats;
17:18:23 – 17:41:17 – Separation of 48 smallsats (orbits i=97.00-97.01°; H = 485.0-477.4km; h = 482.2-450.5km);
17:51:49 – 17:53:45 – Fregat upper stage flight to reentry orbit;
~18:18:49 – Fregat upper stage reentry (altitude – 100km), sinking in the Indian Ocean.
