"The Angara-A5M launch vehicle is planned to be launched approximately at the end of 2024," Sergey Kuznetsov said on Wednesday. Earlier this month, space industry sources revealed that a test launch of the new Angara-A5 heavy-class carrier rocket had been delayed until 2020.

The Angara family includes several environmentally-friendly carrier rockets of various classes. Source: RIA Novosti
