Luch 5V (Russian: Луч-5В meaning ray and sometimes

relay satellite which transmits data from the Russian Orbital Segment of the International Space Station, and from other satellites in low Earth orbit. It currently is stationed in the 95° East geosynchronous orbit
slot of the Luch network.

Luch

Luch 5V is the third of the MKSR Luch Constellation. Luch 5A was launched on December 11, 2011, and Luch 5B 2 November 2012.[2][4] They are dual purpose satellites with both military and civil uses, and are similar to those in the US Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System.[5]

Luch 5V was built by

COSPAS/SARSAT signals and Planet-S System data.[2][7][8][9][10]

The satellite is designed to relay data from the ISS, the new

Progress-MS spacecraft, satellites in low earth orbit and rocket launch vehicles.[7][3][11]

Launch

Luch 5V was launched on 28 April 2014 on a dual launch with

Briz-M upper stage launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome launchpad 81/24 at 04:25 UTC. After five burns of the Briz-M upper stage it was placed into geosynchronous orbit.[3][1][12]
