Ракета-носитель "Союз-СТ-А", пуск которой с космодрома Куру во Французской Гвиане был отложен из-за забастовок, успешно стартовала в четверг.
Старт состоялся в 08.54 по времени Куру (14.54 мск).
Задачей этого запуска является выведение на орбиту спутника SES-15., который предназначается для работы в странах Северной и Латинской Америки, а также Карибского бассейна.







Отделение спутника от ракеты по плану должно произойти через 5 часов и 18 минут после старта.
