"Successful Launch: Russia's Angara Rocket Soars into Space on Third Attempt"

Russia will make a third attempt to launch its Angara-A5 space rocket from the Vostochny Cosmodrome after two previous attempts were aborted due to technical issues. The launch, intended to showcase Russia's space ambitions, has been rescheduled for Thursday at noon. The country's space chief attributed the glitches to software errors and a faulty valve, emphasizing that such issues are common during the development stage. The Angara rocket is a key part of Russia's space program, with President Putin aiming for a new space station by 2027.

"Decade-Old Russian Next-Generation Rocket Continues to Launch Dummy Payloads"

Russia's Angara A5 rocket, a next-generation heavy-lift rocket, is set to launch for the fourth time, but like previous missions, it will carry a dummy payload. The rocket program, which began development in 1992, has faced delays and economic challenges. While intended to replace the Proton launch vehicle, the Angara A5's commercial prospects are uncertain, and it currently lacks a significant payload demand. The upcoming launch will test changes to the rocket's upper stage and mark the first Angara flight from Russia's Vostochny Cosmodrome.

"Russia's Historic Lunar Mission: Village Evacuated for First Landing in Half a Century"

Russia will evacuate a village in its far east as part of its first lunar lander mission in nearly 50 years. The Luna-25 lander will be launched from the Vostochny Cosmodrome and will be the first to arrive on the South Pole of the moon. The residents of the Shakhtinskyi settlement will be evacuated as their village lies in the predicted area where the rocket boosters will fall after separation. The mission aims to develop soft-landing technologies, study the moon's internal structure, and explore resources, including water. The lander is expected to operate on the lunar surface for one year.
