Glavkosmos

The design of the Soyuz launcher and Fregat upper stage allows placing co-passenger payloads into orbit. Several small spacecraft can be put into orbit along with a primary payload being launched under the Russian Federal Space Program. Smaller spacecraft are mounted on a payload adaptor or a truss of the Fregat upper stage. After separation of the upper stage from the launcher, satellites are injected into their target orbits different from the operational orbit of a federal spacecraft. Dedicated missions are possible as well.
