Yamal-102 (Russian: Ямал-102) was a geostationary communications satellite operated by Gazkom and built by RSC Energia.

[1] It was, along with Yamal-101 the first communications satellite of the Yamal programme and the first iteration of the USP Bus.

[4] It had eight SPT-70 electric thrusters by OKB Fakel for station keeping.

[6] It was launched along Yamal-101 on 6 September 1999 at 16:36:00 UTC from Baikonur Site 81/23 by a Proton-K / Blok DM-2M directly to geostationary orbit.

This has caused significant confusion but the records are clear that the satellite that failed was, in fact, the original Yamal-101.
