Russian answers on ISS cargo ship crash
Russian investigators on Friday were probing the crash shortly after launch of an unmanned spaceship taking cargo to the International Space Station, focusing on the Soyuz carrier rocket.
The Russian agency said a state commission would probe the failure but did not say whether the timing of future launches would be affected.
Reports on Friday pointed to a possible problem with the Soyuz carrier rocket — used in both manned and unmanned launches — which has been blamed for two previous failed Progress launches.
The Kommersant daily cited a source close to the Roscosmos space agency as saying the investigation would focus on the engine of the third-stage rocket, which is the last to fall away after launch.
TASS state news agency cited space industry sources as saying the combustion chambers in the engine may have burnt out, possibly due to defective assembly.
