Russia's Angara-A5 Rocket Launch Aborted Due to Technical Malfunction

The test launch from Vostochny Cosmodrome was delayed for 24 hours, marking the second consecutive launch failure for Russia's space program.

Russia encountered technical issues with the Angara-A5 rocket, leading to the cancellation of its test launch from the Vostochny Cosmodrome.
The malfunction was identified in the pressurizing system of the oxidizer tank, prompting a 24-hour delay in the launch attempt.
This marks the second consecutive failure of a test launch for the Angara-A5, following a failed moon mission last August.
The Angara-A5 is designed to replace Soviet-era Proton rockets and is capable of delivering heavier payloads from Vostochny due to its equatorial proximity.
Despite setbacks, Russia remains committed to Vostochny as its primary launch site for future Angara launches, amidst ongoing construction delays.
