The test launch of Russia's Angara-A5 rocket from the Far Eastern Vostochny Cosmodrome was aborted on Wednesday for the second time this week. An announcement made over a livestream mere seconds before takeoff said the launch would be cancelled. State news agency RIA-Novosti said the cause was failure of the pressurization system of the oxidizer tank of the central block of the rocket. National space agency Roscosmos said another launch attempt will be postponed for at least one day.

The first attempt on Tuesday also failed because the automatic safety system registered a flaw in the oxidizer tank pressurization system

A technical malfunction forced Russia on Tuesday to abort the test launch of the Angara-A5 rocket from its Vostochny Cosmodrome minutes before it was scheduled to lift off.

Russia's launch of a heavy-lift rocket from the Vostochny spaceport was canceled two minutes before it was planned to occur due to a failure of the pressurization system.
