Soooo... It works!!
Soooo... It works!!
Well, Briz-M is proved already, ummm, somewhat proved... :lol:You mean the 5 URM-1 and 1 URM-2 .....poor little Briz-M needs 9 hours and 4 burns to reach geostationary orbit. :tiphat:
That thing just jumped of the pad. Would it beat the STS in a 1/4 mile drag race? :lol:
I think that's because it went severely underloaded this time. It was carrying just a little boilerplate mock-up...
After demonstrating its GEO ascent mission taking exactly nine hours, the Briz-M will perform two disposal maneuvers - one about 11 hours and the next about 12.5 hours into the flight, targeting a graveyard orbit above the Geostationary Belt to avoid adding to the space debris problem. The payload simulator will remain attached to the Briz-M
Or D&D with the random monster thing.
But heck yeah! Angara is long overdue, good to see it fly.
So, were there Angaras 1-4 before? I am only familliar with Soyuz and Proton-K, but I saw this add on.
