MOSCOW (Reuters) – Russia test launched its Angara-A5 rocket from the Vostochny Cosmodrome on Thursday after technical glitches prompted officials to abort missions at the very last minute for two days in a row.
The launch of the Angara is intended to showcase Russia’s post-Soviet space ambitions and the growing role played by Vostochny.
On Wednesday the test launch of the space rocket was cancelled due to a malfunction of the engine launch control system.
