Mission details:

• Russia launched three Gonets-class low orbit communications satellites on May 23. Unusually, they were given Kosmos designations - they may actually be the Strela-3 military version of Gonets.
• The launch also carried Yubilyeniy (Jubilee), a test satellite with an amateur radio payload to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Sputnik last year.
