Roskosmos requests weather data in area of Proton‘s possible falling

Russia‘s space authority, Roskosmos, has requested from weather forecaster Roshydromet information about weather conditions in the area of Proton‘s possible falling in Baikal region, a source in the space sector told TASS on Saturday. „As the poisonous fuel remained in the rocket‘s tanks, during the falling it could spread in the atmosphere,“ the source said. „Thus, Roskosmos was asking about wind directions and possible precipitation.“
