Roscosmos recalls Briz-M upper stage batch

19 September 2012

The Russian space agency Roscosmos will recall the entire batch of Briz-M upper stages, one of which caused the launch of a Proton-M carrier rocket to fail in August, the agency’s chief Vladimir Popovkin said on Monday. "The decision has been made to recall and thoroughly examine the entire batch of Briz-M upper stages," Popovkin told journalists. "Each upper stage will be dismantled."
