Russia’s Soyuz-2-1b rocket launched with the Meteor-M weather satellite on Tuesday, alongside an international secondary payload of eighteen small satellites. However, the Fregat Upper Stage suffered an apparent failure which will have resulted in the loss of all the satellites. The Soyuz lifted off from the Vostochny Cosmodrome in eastern Russia at 14:41:46 Yakutsk Time (05:41 UTC, 08:41 Moscow Time).
