Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>VOSTOCHNY COSMODROME, Russia (Sputnik) – The Russian-made Angara-A5 space rocket launched from the Vostochny Cosmodrome on Thursday has put the Orion upper stage with a test payload into orbit, a Sputnik correspondent reported.<\/p>\n

The space rocket was launched at 09:00 am GMT. The launch has been previously delayed for two days in a row.<\/p>\n

Later on Thursday, the Orion upper stage successfully put the small Gagarinets satellite<\/b> into low Earth orbit, Russian state space corporation Roscosmos said.<\/p>\n

The satellite, of the CubeSat 3U type, was manufactured by private Russian company Avant Space and is designed to test technologies for developing satellites, Roscosmos added.<\/p>\n

“The Orion upper stage continues bringing test payload into target orbit,” the corporation’s statement read.<\/p>\n

Russia plans to launch up to 15 Angara rockets in a decade with strategic objective of building national orbital station.<\/p>\n

Since 2014, six Angara launches \u2014 three of light rockets and three of heavy ones \u2014 have taken place from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in Russia’s Arkhangelsk Region. A total of 16 Soyuz-2.1 rockets have been launched from the Vostochny Cosmodrome since 2016.<\/p>\n

The Kremlin welcomes the launch of the Russian-made Angara-A5 space rocket.<\/p>\n

“We join in congratulating our rocket workers who launched Angara. We are happy together with them,” spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Russian rocket and space industry still has a lot of work to do to ensure the reliability of the Angara rocket, which will launch a manned spacecraft in 2028.<\/p>\n

“We still have a lot of work to do with this rocket to ensure its reliability. And in 2028, it will need to launch a manned spacecraft,” Russian state space corporation Roscosmos head Yuri Borisov told reporters after the first launch of the Angara-A5 rocket from he Vostochny cosmodrome.<\/p>\n

Angara-A5 rocket has launched a small, privately-produced Gagarinets satellite into orbit.<\/p>\n
