Jonathan McDowell said in his report last Saturday: >Russia launched a Parus-class navigation satellite, Kosmos-2398, from >Plesetsk on Jun 4 aboard an 11K65M Kosmos-3M two-stage light launch >vehicle. The satellite entered a 969 x 1014 km x 83.0 deg orbit. The Cosmos was observed about mag 5 on the zenith and about mag 5.5 in the east. The rocket was observed to tumble from about 4 to 6.5 or so with a period of about 12 seconds.
