Russia to restart Proton rocket launches after crash
Moscow (AFP) Aug 05, 2013
Russia plans to restart launches of its Proton-M rocket in September, a top space official said Monday, ending a freeze that was introduced when one of the carrier rockets crashed in July. In one of Russia's worst space failures of recent years, a Proton-M rocket carrying navigation satellites exploded shortly after takeoff on July 2. All scheduled launches were then shelved pending an investigation. "The first launch will take place when we have carried out all the necessary planned work, provi ... read more
