Russia's Soyuz-5 Rocket Launched From Baikonur Cosmodrome for 1st Time: Roscosmos
Russia's Soyuz-5 rocket launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome for the first time, and the test launch proceeded as planned, Russian state space corporation Roscosmos said.
"On April 30 at 21:00 Moscow time [18:00 GMT], the Soyuz-5 medium-class launch vehicle was launched from the 45th site at the Baikonur Cosmodrome.This is the first launch of the new-generation rocket as part of flight development tests," Roscosmos said in a statement.
World’s most powerful liquid‑fuel engine – The RD‑171MV propels the first stage, using eco‑friendly oxygen/naphthyl fuel.
Double payload capacity – Up to 17 tons to low Earth orbit with high precision and lower per‑launch cost.
Fully automated pad preparation – Unique engine emergency protection system ensures safety even if a second‑stage engine fails.
Flexible configurations – Works with or without a Fregat upper stage; supports cluster launches and ISS secondary payloads.
The rocket placed the payload mockup on its calculated trajectory during its first launch, the statement added.
