Moscow - QNA
A cluster of three space satellites - Lomonosov, Aist-2D, and SamSat-218 - in combination with the upper stage booster Volga has successfully separated from the third stage of the Soyuz-2.1a rocket, launched from the spaceport, the Russian space agency Roscosmos said on Thursday.
"The satellites are now in the interim orbit," a Roscosmos spokesman at the spaceport said.
The carrier rocket was launched from Russia’s new Far Eastern spaceport Vostochny at 05:01 a.m. Moscow time. The satellites and the upper stage separated from the third stage approximately nine minutes after the blastoff.
