Rassvet β23 satellite, which was already marked as "decayed" on some resources like Celestrak, was finally found after more than a week without tracking data
After descending to ~221 km, the satellite suddenly started climbing up, and is now at ~295 km.
Rassvet β17 is still decaying though, and will burn up ~tomorrow, becoming 2nd decayed satellite after Rassvet β4 (which decayed much quicker, as shown here).
So as of now, it is safe to say that the constellation lost 2 satellites out of 32 launched, or 1 in each batch (~6%).
Cosmonauts Anna Kikina and Pyotr Dubrov unpack & install the control exoskeleton for the Teledroid experiment, a robot that could allow cosmonauts in the future to do some tasks outside without conducting EVAs.
The robot itself should arrive with the next Progress MS-36 mission.
The next Soyuz crew (Anna Kikina and Pyotr Dubrov) started their training with Teledroid/ARTS, the Cosmonaut Training Center shared some photos.
Later this year, a Progress spacecraft is expected to deliver such robot to the ISS to be installed on the surface of Nauka module.

Dude, itβs actually you whoβs trying to push pathetic propaganda.
Taking into account all the rocket-related catastrophes, you forgot to mention another 56 corpses of Americans.
What relation does the program for creating military rockets have to the aerospace industry ?

The family tree behind this rocket body reaches all the way back to Sputnik.
SL-4 R/B (68753) is the spent rocket body from a Soyuz-2.1b launch from Plesetsk in April 2026.
Soyuz belongs to the R-7 rocket family, the same lineage that carried Sputnik 1 into orbit in 1957. Nearly 70 years later, that lineage continues to evolve, putting new hardware into space.
Through our Non-Earth Imaging, we can see the rocket body tumbling in orbit, with the main body and engine nozzles visible.
Images taken from an average distance of 321.31km with an average resolution of 25 cm/px.
They were equipped with everything they need, as evident from separation footage, which matches with company's renderings
The point is that first few batches are not fully serial, they get some changes/modifications as they go through development & testing, which is normal.
According to the same source, Orel's descent module for helicopter drop tests is already at the cosmodrome & is being prepared for the first drop test
As always, terrible media coverage from Roscosmos. When they finally do something interesting, they don't even talk about it.

Explosion of the turbopump of engine β 8 of the N-1 β 5L 0.22 seconds before launch during the second flight test.
The detonation was so powerful that it tore out part of the tail section, damaged engines β 7 and 9, and also the cable network
Looks like they kept this numbering. 2nd batch satellites were registered at UNOOSA as:
R3D13, R3D18, R3D20, R3D21, R3D22, R3D23, R3D24, R3D25, R3D26, R3D28, R3D29, R3D30, R3D31, R3D34, R3D35 and R3D36
Where R3 means Rassvet-3, and Dx is the (serial?) number of the satellite
The military is reportedly also going through testing (and maybe actual use?) of Rassvet service on drones & unmanned vehicles
So currently we know of several fields where Rassvet is being actively tested β Russian Railways (RZD), normal/personal user terminals, and military.
1440.MINI β Concept of a compact terminal with a target data transfer rate of about 100 Mbit/s. It is designed to connect a small number of users and is suitable as a portable means of communication for rescue teams, emergency service crews and other scenarios

Bureau 1440 begins tests of their service with Β«ELGAΒ» coal mining company
Such agreement was signed during video call via satellite connection at the "Digital Solutions" Forum in Moscow β other side was located at a coal deposit site in Yakutia, ~5000 km away
