Summary
Kanopus-V No.3 & Kanopus-V No.4 launched on a Russian Federal Space Agency (ROSCOSMOS) Soyuz 2.1a Fregat-M from Cosmodrome Site 1S, Vostochny Cosmodrome, Siberia, Russian Federation on February 1, 2018. It was Russian Federal Space Agency (ROSCOSMOS)'s 271st launch, 1st this year and humanity's 5,720th orbital launch attempt. It was the 11th Soyuz 2.1a Fregat-M flight and the 1st this year. The payload was bound for Sun-Synchronous Orbit (SSO). Kanopus-V No. 3, one of 10 catalogued objects, reached a 510 × 516 km orbit inclined 97.5°. 10 objects from this launch are catalogued, all of them payloads.

About this launch
Kanopus-V is a series of small remote sensing satellites, dedicated to monitoring manmade and natural emergencies, detecting forest fires and major emissions of atmosphere pollutants. Its other uses are monitoring of agriculture, water and coastal resoures, land use. Each satellite weighs about 500 kg and is placed into sun-synchronous orbit, where it is planned to operate for about 5 years.
