Russia tests Angara A5 rocket for space exploration

Russian Space Forces has successfully tested a new, heavy load Angara-A5 booster space rocket from the Arkhangelsk Region. The previous attempt to launch the same rocket in June was aborted moments before the blast off due to a technical problem.

The rocket's launch comes after two decades of development. Angara-A5 booster space rocket is designed to replace the Soyuz, a workhorse of the Russian space program.
