Russia's 1,000 billion satellite is broken because of a silly mistake

A disastrous error caused the whole project of trillion 'dumping rivers and streams'.

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said on December 27 that a 2.6 billion ruble (about 1,000 billion dong) satellite was broken last month because of a "silly" hole in the programming system.

The Soyuz-2 rocket was launched into orbit.

Last month, Roscosmos announced that it had lost contact with Meteor-M launched from Vostochny base in the Far East. On this satellite, there are 18 other small satellites of many countries participating in the project.

Mr. Rogozin said the mother satellite was programmed to operate at the Russian-leased Baikonur test site, not the Vostochny test site. This disastrous mistake caused thousands of billion satellites to crash and fail.

On the Rossiya 24 channel, the Russian Deputy Prime Minister affirmed that the mistake was due to human error. Vostochny beach is located in the taiga of Amur region. This is Russia's first civilian test site.

The rocket is used to put the satellite on orbit Soyuz-2. After reaching the middle level of the atmosphere, the missile lost all contact with the Earth.
