Foton 2014

 2014-041A


Foton-M No. 4 adopted the Bion-M design with a new service module carrying solar panels, derived from the Yantar'-1KFT/Kometa design. The controllers lost the ability to command the satellite for part of the mission and plans to circularize the orbit were abandoned. The satellite was recovered earlier than expected.
