How to watch

When Launch Library 2 lists an official YouTube webcast, T-ZERO embeds it here (click play to load the YouTube player). We do not host video ourselves; the stream stays on YouTube. Launch times often move, so reload this page for the latest schedule. External links below if the player fails. Official streams for other launches are listed on watch a rocket launch live.

No per-launch YouTube stream is listed yet. We do not invent stream links. Try the provider’s channel, which often carries the webcast when it starts (it may not be this launch):

What to expect from MKA Kinosputnik, KOEN and others

MKA Kinosputnik, KOEN and others is set to fly on a Soyuz 2.1b Fregat-M from Cosmodrome Site 1S, Vostochny Cosmodrome, Siberia, Russian Federation, with Russian Federal Space Agency (ROSCOSMOS) as the launch provider.

Technology missions demonstrate new hardware or methods in space.

Target orbit: Sun-Synchronous Orbit. A Sun-synchronous orbit is a near-polar orbit that passes over any given place at about the same local solar time each day, which suits Earth-imaging satellites.

Rocket and provider in our data

T-ZERO currently lists 3 launches of the Soyuz 2.1b Fregat-M: 2 completed (all 2 successful); 1 upcoming. Across all rockets, Russian Federal Space Agency (ROSCOSMOS) appears on 2 of the 152 launches in our data (1%), using 2 rocket configurations. Treat the numbers as a recent snapshot: T-ZERO stores about two months of past launches plus the upcoming schedule.

Timing

NET stands for “no earlier than”, so the listed time is the earliest planned liftoff. A scrub or hold can move it by minutes, hours or days. Launch Library 2 lists a window of 1 hour, 00:50 UTC – 01:50 UTC. The status “Go” means Launch Library 2 treats the current launch time as confirmed by an official or reliable source; it can still slip.
