The rocket was launched as planned at 08:43 Moscow time (05:43 GMT). In 9 minutes 23 seconds, it will launch the upper stage with satellites into low Earth orbit. After this, the Fregat will turn on its propulsion system twice and deliver the Meteor-M satellite to the target orbit at an altitude of 820 kilometers (509.5 miles). The separation of the satellite is expected 59 minutes 46 seconds after the launch.
