COSMOS-2499 Callsign RS-47 !

COSMOS-2499 (2014-028E) was launched on May 23, 2014 and is now in a
1,510.6 km by 1,158.8 km 82.4 degree orbit. On Sunday, November 30
Dmitry Pashkov R4UAB received signals from the satellite on 435.465
MHz and 435.565 MHz (+/- Doppler)

There has been some mystery concerning the purpose of COSMOS-2499. In
a post updated November 20, 2014 Anatoly Zak @RussianSpaceWeb wrote:
Ground observations indicated that the mystery satellite had not
exceeded 0.3 meters in size. Previously, two Rockot launches with
trios of Rodnik/Strela-3M launches also carried Yubileiny (a.k.a. MiR)
experimental satellites with a reported mass from 48 to 100 kilograms.
As with the previous launch, observers were at a complete loss about
the possible purpose of the satellite.

Cosmos 2499 has made a number or orbital changes since it was first
launched. For further information see
