The second batch of Rassvet-3 satellites for Bureau 1440 is scheduled to launch between April 24 and 28, 2026 with launch window 11:00-21:00 UTC. This information is based on active NOTAM (Notice to Airmen or Notice to Air Missions) warning issued by the authorities and suggest the same launch vehicle configuration - Soyuz 2.1b without Fregat upper stage (the same flight path as launch in March). This launch was postponed to the second half of June and will include 16 satellites just like the previous batch.

A Roscosmos Soyuz-2 rocket will launch the Rassvet-3 batch 2 (16 x) mission. The launch date is currently targeted for June 18, 2026 (UTC).
