Orbit: GSO

Ekspress-AMU3 and AMU7 will replace Ekspress-AM33 and Ekspress-A4, respectively. This mission could also be considered as a partial launch failure. An anomaly occurred during the firing of the Briz-M upper stage, leaving the satellites in an out-specifications orbit, so that the satellites had to do salvage maneuvers to reach their intended orbits.
