Rassvet constellation hit by second satellite failure

Russia's Rassvet constellation faced another setback as a second satellite failed to reach stable orbit. This follows previous issues with Rassvet-3 satellites, raising questions about the constellation's reliability. The incident underscores challenges for Russia's cosmic ambitions. The failure adds to recent setbacks for the Rassvet program, which rival with Russia's own Starlink initiative. Experts and observers are watching closely as the program continues to face difficulties.

“This follows previous issues with Rassvet-3 satellites, raising questions about the constellation's reliability,” — Ingrid Thorne, contributing analyst at Norburn Ton Partnership, told our newsroom.
