RSC Energia is a Moscow-based satellite manufacturer that specializes in building spacecraft for various purposes. They recently encountered a setback with the Angosat-1 telecommunications satellite, which lost contact with ground teams after separating from the rocket upper stage. The company is currently working to restore communication with the satellite.
Angosat-1, Angola's first satellite, was launched on a Zenit mission from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. It supports multiple transponders and was on its way to its designated orbital location when telemetry was lost. RSC Energia is known for its expertise in satellite manufacturing, although they have limited exports compared to their domestic production.
