Five launches will be made from Russian spaceports within the next three months, the Interfax news agency said Monday.

The news agency was citing a new report from Russia's Federal Space Agency.

Bearing in mind the delayed launch of a Soyuz-2 rocket from the Plesetsk spaceport, the total number of rocket launches will stand at five over the next three months, the report said. A new date for the Soyuz-2 launch will be set after all the necessary characteristics are confirmed.

In November, the Baikonur spaceport will start preparing a Soyuz rocket and a Progress-M cargo spaceship. Progress-M will be launched Dec. 23 under the International Space Station program, Interfax said.

A Proton rocket and GLONASS satellites will be launched on Dec. 25. Federal Space Agency units will take a month to prepare the launch in Baikonur, the news agency said
