The Russian Aerospace Forces successfully launched a Soyuz-2.1b rocket carrying a military satellite from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome. The launch, which occurred on May 16 at 2121 UTC, was conducted in the interests of the Russian Defense Ministry. The satellite is likely to be codenamed Kosmos-2576 and will enter a 436 x 451 km x 97.3 deg sun-synchronous orbit. The launch created a spectacular 'space jellyfish' phenomenon observed by residents in the Arkhangelsk Region and neighboring areas. The rocket's trajectory included stage splashdowns in the Barents Sea and Pacific.
