The launch was originally scheduled for 12:00 (Moscow time) on April 9, but two minutes before liftoff the automatic device stopped the launch process due to a failure of the overfeeding system of the central block oxidizer tank, Borisov explained.

The second launch attempt was scheduled for this Wednesday, April 10, which was the backup date, and according to the executive, this second cancellation of the Angara rocket launch was due to a failure of the engine start control system.

It is likely to be a program error,” Borisov told a press conference. He also said that the third launch attempt will be made on April 11.

“There is no irreversible process that would make it necessary to dismantle the rocket. Therefore, probably after examining the details and learning the conclusions of the State Commission, we will repeat the launch tomorrow at the same time (April 11 at 12:00 Moscow time). jrr/arm/mem/gfa
