MOSCOW, April 10 (Xinhua) -- Russia canceled the launch of the Angara-A5 space rocket from the Vostochny Cosmodrome for a second time, Russia's state space corporation Roscosmos said Wednesday.
The cancellation was due to a failure of the engine launch control system, the company noted, adding that another attempt to launch the space rocket will be on Thursday.
On Tuesday, an issue with the pressurizing system of the rocket's oxidizer tank led to a cancellation of the launch minutes before the scheduled time.
The launch was set to be the first for this type of rocket at the Vostochny Cosmodrome, a Russian spaceport located in the Amur region of the Far East. ■
