"We are preparing the launch of next GLONASS-M satellite on board of  Soyuz rocket carrier from Plesetsk on June 14. We are launching this spacecraft to the third plane, and we are preparing Proton's launch with three satellites to the second plane, where three spacecrafts have already worked off their seven-year period of active operation, at the end of the year - in October-November. Thus this year we will launch another four GLONASS-M satellites," the publication cites the head of ISS.
