Moscow-based operator Kosmotras said Wednesday that it is to send a record 32 satellites into space in one launch. The Dnepr rocket, with a cluster of 32 satellites on board, is to be launched at 11:10 a.m. local time (0710 GMT) on Thursday from the Yasny-Dombarovsky launch site in Russia's southeastern Orenburg region. Russia is to break the record set by the U.S. Orbital company, who sent 29 satellites into space with a single rocket on 0115 GMT Wednesday. Dnepr is converted from a strategic ballistic missile by Russian and Ukrainian enterprises. Kosmotras has launched 65 satellites into space with 18 rockets.
