Russia spoiled the satellite again

On December 9, Russia failed to bring a satellite satellite into its orbit, marking another defeat among the country's many failed satellite launches in recent years.

'On December 9, when the Yamal-402 satellite approaching the intended trajectory was removed from the missile four minutes ago , ' said the Russian Federal Space Agency Roscosmos.

However, the agency added that it is still able to control the satellite and is looking to fix the problem, bringing the satellite to its orbit.

Yamal-402 Satellite

Satellites are launched by rocket Proton-M from the Baikonur space center in Kazakhstan at 13:13 GMT on Saturday. The launch was broadcast live on Roscosmos's official website. Initially, the satellite will go into orbit at 2:28 am on December 9 (Moscow time).

"The situation is not pleasant but not a disaster," a Russian space agency source told Interfax news agency. The source also said that satellites could still reach their intended orbit with the help of the satellite's own engines. However, if so, the life cycle of the satellite in space will be shortened.

Interfax also said satellites could take 3 days to fix orbital errors.

Yamal-402 is a telecommunications satellite manufactured by Thales Alenia of France. This is a telecommunications satellite designed specifically for Gazprom Space Systems, a branch of space and telecommunications operations of Russia's Gazprom oil and gas conglomerate. According to Rososmos, this satellite can cover the most remote regions of Russia, Europe, the Middle East and North Africa.
