Glonass-M prelaunch processing also goes on in this building. Trusses and solar array panels are installed on the second spacecraft of the cluster. The first satellite is already in a storage house. The third one is to arrive to the space port next week. Propulsion tanks for this satellite are being loaded with propellant in the prop filling station.

RSC-Energia experts continue prelaunch processing of the DM upper stage at site 254.
