Orbital launch #
#6179 ever
Failure
Upper stage failed to restart for 2nd burn leaving upper stage & payload simulator in LEO. As the resulting orbit would be completely unsalvageable by a hypothetical real payload, and the main purpose of the launch was to test the Persey upper stage, it should be considered a failure.
Mission
This is the third test flight of Angara A5 launch vehicle and its first flight with Persey upper stage. Since it's a test flight, the rocket carries a mass simulator payload.
