 2002-037A

---

Arkon No. 2, 11F664. Mass is announced as 2600 kg - probably without instrument load. Probable total mass around 5800 kg. Launch was by Proton-K 408-01 with the 17S40 (DM-5) upper stage. The apogee was lowered slightly by two burns on Aug 7 and 10. A year later in Jul 2003 the apogee was raised slightly; since then the orbit has not changed.
