According to MT-LAB, their Earth-imaging satellite "KOEN" was delivered to Vostochny Cosmodrome a ~week ago, and is currently being prepared for launch on Soyuz-2.1b in the coming weeks

Launch of Soyuz-2.1b launch vehicle is scheduled from Vostochny Cosmodrome between November 14 and 24, according to local warnings
It will carry two Earth observation satellites – KOEN and Kinosputnik, as well as a bunch of secondary payloads (cubesats).

Bureau 1440 tests their service at the Northern Sea Route
Nuclear icebreaker "Ural" was equipped with one of company's terminals, which provided high-speed communication to the crew of the vessel.
*Full coverage of arctic regions will be achieved way before global coverage
Looks like the the first batch started simultaneous maneuvers to spread the satellites along the orbital plane, and maybe they will finally start climbing to their operational orbit soon (as I said many times before, 500 km is just a temporary, intermediate orbit for testing).
Local warnings for the Progress MS-36 launch were issued today. The launch is currently expected on November 24.
Roscosmos/RSC Energia remain completely silent about spacecraft's preparation, which started with Progress MS-35 few months ago.

Meanwhile, my year-and-a-half-long project on the soft-landing methodology of the Soviet LK, covering its control-system instruments, equations of motion and nominal landing profile, is now at the final stage of writing.
Most likely, I’ll publish it by the end of the month

Ministry of Defense reports a successful launch of Soyuz-2.1b rocket from Plesetsk cosmodrome, carrying a spacecraft in the interests of the Ministry.
This was likely another GLONASS.
Time of the launch is not mentioned.

The launch of Soyuz-2 from Plesetsk is now scheduled between November 7 and 11 with a daily launch window from 7:00 to 20:59 UTC, according to new NOTAMs
Launch from Plesetsk might happen in the coming days, according to local warnings

Judging by this warning alone, it looks like a Soyuz-2 launch into ~63° inclination (not Rassvet), but who knows what it'll really be, it's hard to say lately...
