Yamal 601 (Russian: Ямал-601) is a geostationary communications satellite ordered by Gazprom Space Systems to ISS Reshetnev on the Ekspress-2000 platform for its Yamal program.[1][2] The Ekspress-2000 platform is the heavy version, which can weigh up to 3,500 kg (7,700 lb) and generate up to 14 kW of power on an unpressurized bus designed for direct GEO injection with 15 years of design life. Its payload will be supplied by Thales Alenia Space and is composed of 38 C band, and 32 Ka band transponders[3] It will replace Yamal 202 on 49°E when it reaches its end of service around 2018.[4] Launched May 30, 2019.[5]. On June 24, 2019, the satellite was launched into the calculated orbit.[6] On July 19, 2019, the satellite was finally put into operation, transferring all the networks from the Yamal-202 satellite to it.[7]

History
In 2013 Gazprom Board decided on a new plan. It required two new spacecraft: Yamal-501 and Yamal-601.[8] In January 2014 Gazprom and Thales announced a contract for a new spacecraft, Yamal-601.[9][10] In 2015 the Yamal-401 history would repeat itself, and the contract of Yamal-601 with Thales was cancelled was assigned to ISS Reshetnev, but Thales was again allowed to keep the payload supply.[2]
