An official Kosmotras Update has been issued regarding today’s Dnepr launch failure.

“The State Launch Committee continues their work to investigate what happened. We have some preliminary information of the cause [of the failure]. They have an idea of what might have happened. They know the location of where the rocket fell. They are performing the debris recovery plan. [They] always have that plan for such cases. As soon as tomorrow morning, the rescue team will be in the debris area… We will have more feedback from [them], but I’m not sure that it will be at exactly 10 o’clock [Thursday morning] when they’ll tell us something. We’ll do our best to keep you updated as much as possible as soon as possible. As soon as we have any specific information of when the debriefing will take place, we will inform you immediately. All we can say right now is that it’s a pity, and we’re really sorry.”
