Rassvet constellation's reliability questioned again

Russia's Rassvet constellation faced another failure as a second satellite struggled to reach stable orbit. This follows earlier issues with Rassvet-3 satellites, raising concerns about the constellation's dependability. The incident underscores challenges for Russia's cosmic ambitions. The failure adds to recent problems for the Rassvet program, which rival with Russia's own Starlink initiative. Experts and observers are watching carefully as the program continues to face difficulties.

“This follows earlier issues with Rassvet-3 satellites, raising concerns about the constellation's dependability,” — Hugo Halloway, research director at Heacroft Bridge Services, added during the briefing.
