Russia has launched six telecom satellites into the space through Soyuz-2.1a rocket. According to Xinhua the launch was to take place on Tuesday but the inclement weather prevented it.

Soyuz-2.1a rocket carrying these satellites took off at 8.04 p.m. Moscow time. Each satellite has a weight of 700 kg and a service life of 15 years.

These satellites were developed by European company Thales Alenia Space on orders of the Globalstar corporation, and designed to provide high-quality global personal mobile communication services.
