At November 16, the Angosat spacecraft built by Energia under a contract with the Ministry of Telecommunications and Information Technologies of the Republic of Angola has been delivered to the Baikonur launch site.
After the spacecraft is transported to the processing facility, the work to mate the Angosat SC with the upper stage will begin.
The launch of the Angosat communications satellite is scheduled for December 7.
