    Soyuz launches mysterious Neitron military payload

    by Colin Fletcher February 5, 2022
    written by Colin Fletcher

    A Soyuz rocket lifted off from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in Russia earlier this morning to deliver an unidentified Russian military satellite to orbit. The launch occurred on February 5 at 07:00 UTC, or 10:00 AM Moscow time.

    The satellite in question is likely called Neitron, a new type of military intelligence satellite. Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) airspace warnings point toward a 67-degree inclined orbit for the launch of Neitron. Due to its high latitude, the Plesetsk launch site is well suited for launches to high inclination orbits often associated with reconnaissance satellites.
