Russia’s federal censor might be busy crippling parts of the Internet for much of the country, but the Defense Ministry launched a new military satellite on Thursday that is designed to boost Russia’s high-speed Internet access, while also transmitting other data, telephone service, and video conferencing service.

The satellite was carried into orbit by a Proton-M rocket launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in southern Kazakhstan.
