Russia's space endeavours haven't gone to plan lately as another Soyuz rocket fails after lift-off.
The Soyuz-2 launched without any problems but developed a fault seven minutes in to the flight that prevented it from delivering a communications satellite in to orbit. The failure has highlighted once again the problems that exist in the current launch systems available to deliver both cargo and astronauts in to space now that the space shuttles have been retired.Russia's recent poor launch record has continued with yet another Soyuz rocket failure. This time, a Soyuz-2 vehicle failed to put a communications satellite into orbit after lifting away from the country's Plesetsk spaceport.
