Mission details:

On Jun 19, 2014 launch of a Dnepr rocket from the Yasniy missile base put a record 38 payloads in sun-synchronous orbits ranging from 550 to 610 km at perigee and 620 to 715 km at apogee.
Eleven Flock-1c satellites for PlanetLabs replenish their constellation of 3U satellites, each with 3-m-resolution Earth imaging payloads.
28 Flock-1 satellites were launched earlier this year, but according to Space-Track all but three have now reentered.
