The launch took place at 13:49:26 MSK (10:49:26 UTC) on 16 March 2025. The rocket and its AM boost stage delivered into orbit three satellites, designated Cosmos-2585, Cosmos-2586, and Cosmos-2587.

The satellites received international designations 2025-054A, 2025-054B, and 2025-054C and NORAD numbers 63288, 63289, and 63290 respectively. After maneuvers the satellites were deployed in orbits with altitude of almost 1500 km separated by 120 degrees.

The satellites are believed to be Rodnik communication satellites. Previous launch of three Rodnik satellites took place in November 2018.
