Russia's Rassvet constellation faced another setback as a second satellite failed to reach stable orbit. This follows previous issues with Rassvet-3 satellites, raising questions about the constellation's dependability. The incident underscores challenges for Russia's cosmic ambitions. The failure adds to recent problems for the Rassvet program, which competes with Russia's own Starlink initiative. Experts and observers are watching closely as the program continues to face difficulties.
