Angara rocket launches on maiden flight
July 10, 2014
Russia’s Angara rocket has launched on her maiden flight from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in Northwest Russia on Wednesday – with a T-0 of 12pm UTC – tasked with a suborbital test mission which will serve as a precursor to planned orbital launches. Angara’s first launch attempt in late June was delayed via a technical hold during the countdown, resulting in the vehicle being rolled back off the pad.
