космический аппарат = space apparatus
Explanation:
ЭНЕРГИЯ-II is described as a космический аппарат in several references.

neutral  Vlasta Shevchenko: Absolutely agree with you КА= космический аппарат, but in aerospace industry a term "spacecraft" stands for it (satellites are also spacecrafts)

  -> Thank you. Yes, I think I did get that wrong, but KA could still stand for космический аппарат.

SC


Explanation:
"ЭНЕРГИЯ-КА-II" = Enegria-KA-II

с КА в орбитальных позициях 99 в.д. и 112 в.д. - КА = SC - spacecraft

Ка-диапазон - Ka-band

probably it is confusing, but the text is about satellite communication system Energia-KA-II, not a launch vehicle (the system was manufactured by Energia-Telecom company). KA here in the name means it is a spacecraft (satellite), not a launch vehicle Energia-II. then in brakets the orbital positions of the satellites of the system are given (the launch vehicle has trajectory, not orbital position)
