Meteor-M No.2-1 (Russian: Метеор-М №2-1), was a Russian satellite, part of Meteor-M series of polar-orbit weather satellite[1]. It was launched using Soyuz-2.1b rocket with a Fregat upper stage on 28 November 2017; the satellite failed to separate from the Fregat and communication was later lost.[2] The cause of failure was determined to be faulty programming. The satellite was programmed with a launch point of Baikonur Cosmodrome, while in actuality it was launched from Vostochny Cosmodrome.[3] This caused the satellite to enter an incorrect orbit.[4]

This was the second launch from the Vostochny Cosmodrome.
