Russia successfully launched a military satellite into space on Wednesday (November 26) from the Plesetsk cosmodrome, marking another milestone in the country's expanding space capabilities.
The satellite, carrying a payload of space devices, will be used by Russia's Defence Ministry for various military purposes. The launch was conducted using the Angara-1.2 small-lift rocket, a Russian-developed launch vehicle, according to a statement from the Russian Ministry of Defence. The launch was described as successful, further bolstering Russia's space capabilities in support of its military operations.
This marks the latest in a series of advancements at the Plesetsk cosmodrome, a key site for Russia's space and military operations. The site has been undergoing modernization to enhance its capacity for spacecraft launches. In 2024, former Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu highlighted that the completed modernization would significantly improve Plesetsk's ability to support future launches.
The successful deployment of this military satellite is seen as a significant development in Russia's ongoing efforts to expand and modernize its military space infrastructure. The satellite is expected to play a crucial role in strengthening the country's defense and strategic operations.
