< This page discusses the arrival of the Baumanets spacecraft at 
< Baikonur on June 3, but the spacecraft pictured seems a lot bigger 
< than the 92 kg microsatellite that the Bauman institute produced. I 
< believe that these photos are of the Belka satellite, produced by RSC 
< Energia on behalf of the Belarus space agency. Belka is based on a 
< subset of the Yamal bus.
