Raduga-1M (Russian: Радуга-1М) is a decommissioned orbital military communications satellite built by Roscosmos as part of the Globus [ru] program. It has a launch mass of 2300 kilograms, and was first launched on September 12, 2007, on the Proton launch system. The satellite was later launched two more times as Globus-M12 and Globus M-13 from 2010 to 2013. It was decommissioned in 2013 when they did not need to make any more communication satellites. It consists of two deploy-able power arrays, as well as a battery pack.
