Reshetnyova “(part of the state corporation” Roscosmos “) for the development of the orbital grouping of the Russian Federation. They are intended to provide fixed and mobile services, digital broadcasting, high-speed Internet access, as well as data transfer in Russia and in CIS countries in C, KU and L – RAMs.

Proton-M carrier rocket and overclocking BRAZ-M block are designed and serially manufactured by GKNPS. M.V. Khrunichev. Starting with In 1965, 425 launches of various modifications of the proton missile were held. The use of the Breeze-M acceleration unit in the Proton-M carrier rocket makes it possible to increase the mass of the payload by the GSO to 3.5 tons, and in transition orbit more 6 tons. The first launch of the Proton-M complex – Breeze-M took place on April 7, 2001.
