A TASS source in the rocket and space industry previously reported that a train with an Angara-A5 carrier rocket arrived in Plesetsk before continuing flight tests

MOSCOW, September 16. /TASS/. The assembly of the heavy launch vehicle "Angara-A5" was launched at the Plesetsk cosmodrome. This was reported to TASS by a source in the rocket and space industry.

"The assembly of the Angara launch vehicle, delivered earlier on a railway train, has begun in Plesetsk," the agency's interlocutor noted. The rocket is being assembled in preparation for the continuation of the Angara flight tests.

In August, a source in the rocket and space industry told TASS that a train with an Angara-A5 carrier rocket arrived in Plesetsk before continuing flight tests.

Angara is a family of Russian launch vehicles from light to heavy class. Universal rocket blocks "Angara" are manufactured at the Omsk PO "Polet" (part of the M. V. Khrunichev Center of the state Corporation "Roscosmos"). The new family uses environmentally friendly fuel components. The first two launches of the heavy "Angara" took place on December 23, 2014 and December 14, 2020 from the Plesetsk cosmodrome.

In June, Roscosmos CEO Dmitry Rogozin said in an interview with TASS that four Angara launch vehicles will be delivered by the end of the year, but not all of them are planned to be launched by January 2022. Later, on the radio "Komsomolskaya Pravda", he noted that work is underway to send another heavy "Angara" from the Khrunichev Center to prepare for flight tests.
