Radio Moscow announce over the weekend that they had launch
six satellites form the same boster. I am not sure if they
were hinting about a new boster or just making the best of
it while we wait for 88. The six sat configuration is normally
a configuration two constalation that is use for navigational
satellites, I would not have expected them to announce the
launch if it was a mil one, the cil. version only has four
satellites in the ring about 45 deg apart that would mean
that two other hitchhikers came along. Checking 10 meters
I have not heard any beacon so I dont think that they were
radio-m or RS-9 & 10. Has anyone heard anymore on this launch?
But then again the have announce willingness to launch American
Satellites and may be just going towards a more open capitlist
society...
