Russia test-launches new space eco-rocket Angara right into geostationary
orbit
Russia’s space agency has launched a heavy version of the newly developed
ecologically clean rocket family Angara. The booster is to take its mock
payload right to the geostationary orbit – over 35,000 kilometers from the
Equator.
Launching right into geostationary orbit has never been practiced before by any heavy booster prototype – usually trials are performed to a low orbit with altitudes of up to 2,000km before moving on to higher altitudes.
