These are blocks of the first stage of the Soyuz-2.1b rocket
The historic mission of launching the Luna-25 automatic station to the Moon was accompanied by great attention – and not only among those who looked at the sky, but also among those whose eyes were turned to the Earth. They were looking for fragments of the Soyuz-2.1b rocket – the blocks of the first stage. Before that, even the residents of Shakhtinsk had to be evacuated beforehand.
In the Khabarovsk Territory, they found all the wreckage of the Soyuz-2.1b rocket
“ All four side blocks of the first stage of the rocket that launched Luna-25 into orbit have been found. The search in the Khabarovsk Territory has been completed , ”wrote the Governor of the Khabarovsk Territory Mikhail Degtyarev in his Telegram channel. He accompanied his message with a photo of the mangled blocks of the first stage.
“ Soil sampling was carried out at the discovery site and measurements of the dose rate of gamma radiation were carried out, and an ecological survey of the environment is also being carried out,” Roskosmos said.
