The Meteor-M 2-1 satellite was launched in November and was designed to monitor weather patterns, the ozone layer, ocean surface temperatures and other meteorological influences.
It was launched from the Vostochny space portal on 28 November. However, the satellite was lost because it was programmed to lift-off from the Baikonur launch pad.
The weather satellite and 18 others travelling on the same rocket were also lost.

Good grief, they can't even programme or launch it from the right pad!
