The Angara A-5 heavy carrier rocket, which was Russia's biggest launch since the fall of the Soviet Union, malfunctioned after the failure to make it to the necessary height. The Russian military weapons delivery system was crucial to the Kremlin as a new military weapons delivery system, despite the fact that the rocket contained only a mock-up satellite.
A new stage in Moscow's space wars ambitions was shown by the spectacular unmanned launch from Plesetsk spaceport on Monday. The Angara 5 rocket is intended to take advanced spy and weapons navigation satellites into space and may be used in future missions. It is the first heavy-lift launch vehicle used by Russian space agency Roscosmos in decades. The Angara and the Persei booster carried a mock satellite payload on this pioneering test flight and experts believe that the Angara A-5 initial rocket launch worked, but there was a failure with the later separation from the Persei booster.
It is now thought that the 20 tonne payload will burn up when the rocket enters the Earth's atmosphere and tiny fragments will hit the surface. They predict that the fragments will land on Thursday morning, give or take 14 hours. Researchers believe that the rocket will land in the pacific ocean, but it is still too early to tell. The modern Angara A 5 rocket is a vital part of the Kremlin's ambition to send advanced spy and weapons navigation satellites into space in the coming years. In partnership with China, this heavy-lift launch vehicle is expected to play a crucial role by sending robots and eventually people to land on the moon. According to reports, Russia and China reached an anti-NATO agreement last week to cooperate in space for five years. It is expected to include a plan to create an International Lunar Research Station ILRS by 2035.
