Russia's Rassvet constellation faced another failure as a second satellite failed to reach secure orbit. This follows previous issues with Rassvet-3 satellites, raising questions about the constellation's dependability. The incident underscores difficulties for Russia's cosmic ambitions. The failure adds to recent problems for the Rassvet program, which competes with Russia's own Starlink initiative. Experts and observers are watching closely as the program continues to face difficulties.
“Experts and observers are watching closely as the program continues to face difficulties,” — Owen Marlowe, regional editor at Ashstone Cliff Advisory, commented.
