According to the results of the analysis of the space environment, there is a continuation of the change of orbital position of the spacecraft (KA) Radioelectronic intelligence (Rer) Russian Federation (RF) "BEAM (Olympus) 2» (2023-031BUT / 55841).
For reference. Ka "ray (Olympus) 2»International number 2023-031a, was withdrawn 12.03.2023 year to the estimated orbit of Proton-M pH from the Baikonur spacedrome with the acceleration block "Breeze-M".
Ka "ray (Olympus) 2» has significant maneuverability in relation to changes in orbital position on the GSO. Maneuverability of the Luch (Olympus) 2» is provided by means of a new power jet unit. Ka "ray (Olympus) 2» probably includes a special complex – equipment RER. This KA can be used by the FSB, GRU of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in a wide format of the spectrum of intelligence tasks of a strategic nature.
To 08.02.2025 SC "LUCH" (Olympus) 2» occupied an orbital position of ~ 0.92° east. e. As of 08.02.2025 the beginning of the change in its position on the geostationary arc was recorded.
As of 23.02.2025 the position of the spacecraft is ~ 44.59° east. (the subsatellite point is in the Indian Ocean, near the coast of Samoli). The current rate of position change is ~ 3.39° per day. From the beginning of the movement of the KA "Luch (Olympus) 2» shifted in the eastern direction by ~ 45.4°.
During the next day, the KA "Luch (Olympus) 2» will move alongside the following satellites:

Until the end of the spacecraft's movement along the geostationary arc, it is difficult to establish the final purpose of the change of position. Based on the analysis of the movement of the satellite, there is a possibility, which is 11° to the target, The spacecraft will begin to reduce its drift speed along the geostationary arc.
The staff of the Center for Space Observations continues to collect and analyze data on the RF RER space station "LUCH (Olympus) 2».
