Space maps loaded into tablets: live report from Baikonur
The Soyuz 2.1b launch vehicle with the Fregat accelerating unit was launched with a group of spacecraft. The main load of the rocket is the two-ton meteorological satellite “Meteor-M No. 2”. Along the way, six small satellites fly the same flight, and one of them is our DX1.
On this occasion, today I am writing from Baikonur. Yes, today Zelenyikot is close to space more than ever, and, in many respects, thanks to Habr. Therefore, today I will tell you what it is like to be close to a rocket taking off, and feel how the spacecraft is sent to it in space, the creation of which you are involved. Of course, my involvement is only in what I have told how to create it. The real creators: DX1 project manager Alexander Malinin and leading design engineer Peter Kudryashov are standing next to me, they will help in the report. The rest of the employees of Dauria are in the Skolkovo office in Moscow, waiting for the first signals to be caught by themselves, and waiting for news from the radio amateurs whom we asked for help.
This is where the radio enthusiast R4UAB at 23:10 promises to show the first signal from the DX1:

And here they tell how to see the rocket flight over the Urals, Chelyabinsk, Yekaterinburg, Perm, Ufa, Kazan, Samara, Nizhny Novgorod, Arkhangelsk, Moscow, St. Petersburg:

We were sent to Baikonur not just to see the rocket take-off. Our task is to prepare a report from the spaceport recorded using Google Glass. Therefore, you will see everything that happens on the launch pad with my eyes, with the help of a fashionable device. Then I will tell about my experience in mastering points, and attempts to organize live broadcast from Baikonur using satellite communications. It turned out to be more difficult than I expected, but we still try to make a live connection through the LiveStream directly to this page. If it does not work out - we will post videos that were shot during the start.
In addition to starting at 19:58 Moscow time, two more crucial moments await us:
22:31 - separation of the satellite from the upper stage;
23:17 - the first communication session with the device.
The post will be updated as important stages of the launch take place and information is received from Moscow. The frequency of updates depends on Internet access. At the observation site of the cosmodrome they promise only an EDGE-coverage, in the city itself the connection is better.
We express our gratitude to the press service of Roskosmos, JSC Glavkosmos and employees of the NPO them. S.A. Lavochkin for the organization of the report and provided videos.

The live broadcast from the space station of Roskosmos TV studio is available here: www.tsenki.com/broadcast ( mda ... they say there will be no broadcast ). On the observation platform, not everyone is allowed to take pictures either.
Fly!
The separation of the upper stage has passed. Thanks Samara, further work Khimki.
Meteor-M2 successfully separated . So far, so good.
Start-up video: from 40 km
And a half km
According to the cyclogram, the DX1 is separated, but so far the Frigate is out of sight, there is no confirmation. Now we are waiting for the first communication session at 23: 10-23: 17
DRK.XBKCZ!
INCLUDED !!!
We work! We were able to receive the signal (Skolkovo), Berlin, Minsk. Radio amateur R4UAB caught a small surge.
DSC001 is our call sign!
