Out-of-control Russian rocket falling to Earth

A large Russian rocket, the Angara A5, experienced a failure during its third test flight. The rocket's third stage failed to fire a second time, leaving it and its dummy payload stranded in low Earth orbit. This malfunction prevents the rocket from reaching its intended graveyard orbit. Experts predict that the 20-ton structure will begin falling back to Earth, with most of it burning up in the atmosphere, but some parts may impact the surface.

What was the main issue that caused the Russian rocket to fall out of control?

• The rocket was hit by space debris.

• The payload was too heavy.

• The third stage failed to fire a second time.

• The first stage failed to ignite.

What was the purpose of the dummy payload on the Angara A5 rocket?

• To carry scientific instruments.

• To test communication systems.

• To simulate the weight balance of a satellite.

• To measure atmospheric conditions.

How many stages of the Angara A5 rocket successfully fired before the failure?

• Three stages

• Two stages

• One stage

• Four stages

What is the expected outcome for most of the rocket's structure upon re-entry?

• It will be recovered by a space agency.

• It will land safely in the ocean.

• It will burn up in Earth's atmosphere.

• It will remain intact.

When is the rocket debris expected to impact Earth?

• On December 3rd

• On December 4th

• On December 5th

• On December 6th
