| Russian Rocket Fails: Yamal 402 Fails to Reach Proper Orbit (Video) Posted: 09 Dec 2012 03:04 PM PST  Russian Proton Rocket Image Credit: Roscosmos The Russian Proton rocket fails during its launch at the Baikonur Cosmodrome on Saturday, December 8, 2012, according to a report by the International Launch Services (ILS) and Russia's Roscosmos space agency. Reports say that the Breeze-M upper stage failed to lift the Russian satellite, Yamal 402, to a planned orbit when it was launched after sunset. It was reportedly the third failed launch of the Russian Proton heavy-lift rocket over a period of 16 months. The failed launch has left the Gazprom Space Systems' Yamal 402 telecommunications satellite into a very-low orbit. Launch of Yamal-402 Satellite on Russian Proton Breeze-M Image Credit: SpaceVidsNet/YouTube Breeze-M was expected to complete its ascent in nine hours and 15 minutes before releasing the 9,839-pound satellite into the planned “elliptical orbit ranging from 4,642 miles at perigee to 22,181 miles at apogee and inclined 9 degrees to the equator.” Yamal 402 will then maneuver itself into a circular geosynchronous orbit 22,300 miles up and lowering inclination to match the Earth’s rotation. It would have begin a 15-year service life. However, the rocket propulsion lasted for only nine minutes, four minutes short of expected burn.

ILS is reportedly making its own Failure Review Oversight Board to review the commission’s final report and make a corrective action plan. |
