Marafon-D-GVM
Marafon-D-GVM [Roskosmos]
The Marafon-D-GVM was a dummy payload representing a mass model of the Marafon-D communications satellite.
It was launched and deployed as a stand-in for the maiden Marafon-D satellite, which was demanifested a short time before launch. This enabled the mission to launch without changing the configuration of the payload stack.
