Russia postpones Soyuz-2.1a rocket launch to Sunday

MOSCOW, 20 March, 2021, (TON): Russia has delayed the dispatch of its Soyuz-2.1a rocket to Sunday, state news organization RIA cited Roscosmos space office Director General Dmitry Rogozin as saying on Saturday.

Rogozin said the choice to defer from Saturday was made after a voltage spike in front of the arranged dispatch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, detailed.

The Soyuz-2.1a rocket, which is expected to deliver 38 satellites that are mostly made outside Russia into open space, is now set to be launched at 0607 GMT on Sunday, the source said.
