 28 December 2021
Part of a failed Russian rocket launch made an uncontrolled re-entry back to Earth - and
officials have confirmed it landed in the Pacific Ocean. Scientists launched the third test
flight of the Angara-A5 heavy-lift rocket from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in northwestern
Russia on December 27. According to state-run media, the purpose was to test a new
upper-stage rocket, called the Persei booster, for the first time.
