    A Russian Rokot/Briz-KM launch vehicle has successfully launched the Gonets-D1M 2, Gonets-D1M 3, Gonets-D1M 4 military satellites and the civilian Yubileyniy satellite today at 19:20.09 s MST, from the Plesetsk space centre, in northwest Russia.
    The Yubileyniy satellite carries communication equipment for amateur radio operators and is designed to test new satellite avionic components.
    Yubileyniy was named to honour the 50th anniversary of the first satellite in 1957.
