Which country launched the newly developed eco-friendly space-rocket Angara - A5?
1. Russia
2. India
3. Spain
4. Germany

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Russia

The correct answer is Russia.

• The Angara A5 is the most powerful new Russian launcher since the 1980s and is designed to replace the Proton M rocket to carry the country’s heaviest payloads into orbit.
• Russia carried out the first test launch of the Angara-A5 rocket in 2014 at the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in the country's northern Arkhangelsk region.
• As aggressive and toxic propellants are not used in this rocket, significantly increasing environmental safety both in the areas adjacent to the launch complex and in the drop zones.
• Russia successfully test-launched its Angara-A5 heavy-lifting carrier rocket for the second time in December 2020.
• The rocket with a simulated load blasted off from the Plesetsk cosmodrome in northwest Russia's Arkhangelsk region
