Russia Delays First Space Launch In 2009 For One Day
Moscow (RIA Novosti) Jan 30, 2009 Russia's first carrier rocket launch of 2009, scheduled for Thursday, has been delayed until Friday for technical reasons, a spokesman for the Space Forces said. A Cyclone-3 carrier rocket was scheduled to lift off at 4:30 p.m. Moscow time (13:30 GMT) from the Plesetsk space center in northwest Russia to deliver a Coronas-Photon research satellite into orbit. "The launch has been tentatively rescheduled for an alternative date - January 30," Lt. Col. Alexei Zolotukhin said. Russia's next launch will be the space cargo ship Progress M-66, which will take supplies to the International Space Station on February 10, followed on February 11 by a Proton-M rocket with two new Russian Express-series communications satellites. Both launches will be from Baikonur space center in Kazakhstan. The Russian space agency is planning to make a total of 39 space launches this year from the Baikonur and Plesetsk space centers.
