According to preliminary information, it was not a failure of the Space Forces, but the malfunction of the apparatus, which failed in bringing the satellite to orbit. |
Chances for success are slim. |
Following a request from its sponsor (the ESA), the launch has been put back from December 26 to December 28. |
In the first stage, a low-orbit system of personal e-mail-type satellite communication, Gonets-D1, was deployed on the basis of six satellites of the same name. Among other things, it provides communication links between governmental structures and remote areas. The satellite to be launched on Tuesday is the first one in the multifunctional personal satellite communication system Gonets-D1M to be built in the second stage. We plan to launch 12 spacecraft of this type. They will operate in four dimensions, three satellites in each. |
It is possible that the actual contract will be signed soon. |

The satellite did not go into orbit because of a dysfunction in the final stage. |
We are happy we can play a part in the mission of the first Brazilian astronaut. He will undoubtedly become a national hero for Brazil. |
