In the United States, the launch of the Astra launch vehicle ended in failure

The test launch of the Astra launch vehicle did not go according to plan. The rocket deviated slightly and shifted to the side, without gaining altitude from the launch field. The device in a few seconds rushed up. After 2.5 minutes of flight, the engines shut down. The rocket lost stability, the broadcast from the cameras was interrupted from the cameras installed on it. The device was supposed to deliver a test cargo to orbit, the Izvestia TV channel reports. Another launch is planned later this year.
