Author	Topic: Bion-M No. 2 bio-science satellite and Vostok
Robert Pearlman Editor Posts: 55241 From: Houston, TX Registered: Nov 1999	posted 08-19-2025 08:26 AM The second in a series of second generation Bion-M science satellites is now being prepared for launch at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. The satellite has its legacy in the Zenit 2M and Yantar satellites, but more broadly shares its history with the Vostok spacecraft that famously flew the first human into space. The Bion-M No. 2 launch is scheduled for Wednesday (Aug. 20) at 1:13 p.m. EDT (1713 GMT).
