Test launch of new Russian booster rocket postponed
The first launch of a new Russian booster rocket has been postponed because of technical problems, the Russian Defence Ministry said today.
The launch of the Soyuz-2 booster from the Plesetsk launch pad in northern Russia, which had been set for today, has been postponed because of a software flaw, said a ministry spokesman. He refused to specify the problem and said a new date would be set.
