NewsForty-eight Dove satellites - our Flock 2k - are scheduled to launch on a Soyuz rocket on Friday, July 14 at 06:36 GMT (July 13th at 23:36 PDT) to 475 km altitude Sun Synchronous Orbit (SSO) from Baikonur Cosmodrome in southern Kazakhstan. Flock 2k will be flying on a Soyuz rocket in the 2.1a configuration with a Fregat upper stage. This will be our Doves’ second launch from a Soyuz rocket; Planet’s first successful launch in early 2013 (Dove 2!) was on a similar Soyuz in the 2.1b configuration.
