European satellites fall into the sea
The European Space Agency's CryoSat satellite failed in the flight to collect data about ice at the two poles of the earth. Six minutes after being lifted by the Russian missile, the satellite did not respond to the control center, causing the 2nd floor of the boosters to not separate.
The $ 170 million satellite has fallen into the Arctic Sea, after 90 minutes of takeoff from the Plesetsk Space Center in northern Russia, on Saturday.It has not completed the first round of the earth.
CryoSat was put into orbit with the task of mapping ice on the earth's poles and providing more accurate data for studying global warming.
