The first launch of the Angara-A5 heavy launch vehicle from the Vostochny cosmodrome was canceled automatically two minutes before launch due to a failure of the pressurization system for the oxidizer tank of the central unit, said Roscosmos General Director Yuri Borisov. The first launch of the Angara-A5 launch vehicle from the Vostochny cosmodrome was scheduled to take place at 12:00 on 09 April, Moscow time. Angara-A5 was supposed to launch the Orion upper stage with a test payload into orbit. The Angara family of rockets should replace the Proton-M launch vehicles. The Proton rocket has been in operation since the mid-1960s. EPA/ROSCOSMOS PRESS SERVICE HANDOUT HANDOUT EDITORIAL USE ONLY/NO SALES HANDOUT EDITORIAL USE ONLY/NO SALES
