Angara-A5 rocket took off from Vostochny Cosmodrome

The Angara-A5 heavy-class launch vehicle launched from pad 1A of the Vostochny cosmodrome. The TASS news agency reports this.

After separation from the rocket's third stage, the Orion rocket's upper stage will continue to propel it into orbit.

Earlier, we would like to remind you that the launch of the A-5 was postponed due to a failure of the pressurization system of the central unit's oxidizer tank.

As Bashinform News Agency reported, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the country's strategic nuclear forces are in a state of complete readiness during the announcement of his message to the Federal Assembly.
