Satellite lost after launch

The next (already the fourth in a calendar year) Russian satellite is lost for the state and turned into a pile of useless iron.

Such conclusions can be made from information about the geodesic military spacecraft Geo-IK-2 launched in space last night from the cosmodrome in Plesetsk.

After launch at some stage, communication with the satellite was lost. Then, while the Russian MCC “searched” for a satellite, it was already tracked by experts from the American-Canadian Command of Aerospace Defense of North America.

After some time, information appears that our specialists have established a connection with the device. But, as it turns out, the satellite did not go into the supposed "circular" orbit, but an "elliptical" and slightly higher than the specified one.

The findings of the sources in the rocket and space industry are disappointing: "The satellite will not be able to perform its functions."

Finita la comedy! The fourth satellite, built on taxpayers' money, was thrown to the cat's tail.
