The military satellite launched from the Plesetsk cosmodrome by the Soyuz-2.1B carrier rocket has been put into a calculated orbit, the press service of the Russian Defense Ministry reported.

"The launch of the Soyuz-2.1B launch vehicle and the launch of the spacecraft into orbit took place in normal mode," the report says.

The launch of the Soyuz-2 rocket, whose flight tests began at the Plesetsk cosmodrome in 2004, has already been carried out 51 times by combat crews of the Space Forces. The Soyuz-2 rocket replaced the Soyuz-U launch vehicles. In the period from 1973 to 2012, 435 such carriers were launched from Plesetsk.

As previously reported by the specialized website Spaceflightnow, the launch vehicle should put into orbit the Tundra Unified Space System vehicle designed to detect launches of intercontinental ballistic missiles.

In the future, the orbital grouping will consist of 10 Tundra spacecraft, the deployment of which should be carried out by 2022.

In 2015, 2017 and 2019, the first three new devices of the missile attack warning system (SPRN) - EX-1, EX-2 and EX-3 (designated as "Cosmos-2510", "Cosmos-2518" and "Cosmos-2541") were put into orbit.

The Tundra satellites are replacing the devices of the satellite system for detecting the launches of intercontinental ballistic missiles from the continental United States - Oko and Oko-1, Interfax notes.
