's First Satellite Geo-IK-2 does not reach orbit Preview 
space launch The fifth year could be the first to have failed. Russia launched from the Plesetsk cosmodrome at 14:00 UTC on 1 February, a rocket-KM Rokot a scientific military satellite on board. But the rocket left its cargo in an elliptical and not circular, as expected. It seems that the Briz-KM upper stage failed to fire again to bring the satellite to an altitude of 1,000 km planned. The satellite, called Geo-IK-2 (11L), is in a polar orbit, and so far has not contacted the Earth. Your goal should be to carry out surveying tasks (analysis of Earth's gravity, the rate of rotation of the earth and its shape), which would help to better understand our planet, plate tectonics and other useful features both for science and for the military. This first Geo-IK-2 (14F31) will be followed by a second copy within this year. Network is part of the Musson-2 and is a substantial improvement over the previous series Geo-IK. It was built by the company Reshetnev SS on a similar platform to the Uragan-M satellite. It has two solar panels and weighs about 1,400 kg. A board carries a radar altimeter Sadka provided by the European company Thales Alenia Space, laser retroreflectors GLONASS and GPS receivers. Russia has launched an investigation, pending contact with the satellite power and that can be pulled something out of him in his precarious orbit. (
