Kosmos 2413

2004-053A


Two Uragan, No 796/797 and one Uragan-M No 712 (No 12L ) were launched in Dec 2004 and given the names Kosmos-2411 to Kosmos-2413. They were placed in slots 1,7,8 of orbit plane 1.

The Uragan satellites were built by Polyot, with the Uragan-M developed by Reshetnev NPO-PM. Masses were 1370 kg each.

Originally the GLONASS web site said Kosmos-2411 was sat 712, but later this was corrected to 796 (formerly assocated with 2413).

712 was retired to backup status on 2011 Dec 14 but reactivated 2012 Oct; it was finally deactivated on 2012 Dec 21.

796 was removed from the constellation on 2008 Oct 18.

JCSAT 6

 1999-006A


JCSAT 4A (also called JCSAT 6) is an HS-601, delivered May 1998, 32 Ku tsp. to be launched by Atlas 2AS in 1999 into supersynch transfer orbit. Launch mass is 2900 kg, dry mass is 1226 kg.

The satellite will replace JCSAT-4 which will become a spare; that replaced JCSAT-1 in 1997. Launch of JCSAT-6 by Atlas 2AS was delayed following the SCP problems with several on-orbit HS-601s. JCSAT 6 will operate at 124E.
