The launch of a new Angara light carrier rocket is scheduled for the first half of 2022, Roscosmos Chief Dmitry Rogozin said at the EAEU business forum ‘Space Integration’ on Friday.
"The launch of the light Angara will take place in the first half of next year," Rogozin said. The launch of a heavy Angara carrier is targeted for the end of December this year, he added.
Commander-in-Chief of Russia’s Aerospace Force Sergey Surovikin earlier reported to Defense Minister Army General Sergey Shoigu that work was currently underway to assemble an Angara-A5 rocket whose launch date would be determined on December 20.
