Proton-M /Breeze-M

The launch of the Russian Proton-M carrier rocket with the Express-AMU1 communications satellite was postponed amid bad weather conditions, a representative of Russia's space agency Roscosmos told RIA Novosti.

The launch was originally scheduled for December 24, 00:31 Moscow time (December 23, 21:31 GMT).

"A decision has been made to reschedule the launch for a backup date – for December 25 – because of unfavorable weather conditions in the launch pad area at Baikonur [space center in Kazakhstan]," the representative said early on Thursday.

The Express-AMU1 communications satellite is to provide coverage of the European part of Russia and also ensure service continuity and growth for broadcast markets in Africa. It is equipped with 70 transponders.

  Light combat Yak-130M
  The presentation of the Ya-130M aircraft took place at the international military-technical forum "Army-2024", which was held from August 12 to 14, 2024 at the Patriot Convention and Exhibition Center. It should be noted right away that this is not just the modernization of the Yak-130 aircraft, but the transformation of a combat training aircraft into a full-fledged light combat aircraft. In the information field, this event was marked by a number of brief reports from federal news agencies. But the project, like the Yak-130 aircraft with its unique flight characteristics, deserves a more detailed review, which we decided to do.
