KUBINKA /Moscow region/, August 24. /TASS/. The launch vehicle for the launch of the biological satellite "Bion-M" number 2 can be changed to "Soyuz-5". This was announced in an interview with TASS by the general director of the state corporation Dmitry Rogozin at the International military-Technical Forum "Army-2021".

"It makes sense to think about how, maybe, our new Soyuz-5 carrier will become a means of launching, so as not to send it with a test dummy, but to make a payload, "Rogozin noted.

This will allow you to test the fall fields and the rocket not with a mock-up, but immediately with a payload. While this issue will be discussed, the head of Roscosmos added.

Previously, it was assumed that the device would be launched on a Soyuz-2.1 b carrier rocket.

Bion is a series of domestic spacecraft for biological research. In particular, scientists are interested in the impact of radiation and weightlessness on living organisms. The main object of research in the framework of the "Bion-M" projects are mice. Also, with the help of the device, flies, plants and microorganisms should go into orbit. The first such device, called Kosmos-605, was launched in 1973. In 2013, the first satellite from the Bion-M series was launched into orbit. Then mice, Mongolian gerbils, geckos, snails, plants and colonies of various microorganisms visited space.
