Is the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine going to expand beyond Earth? Russia’s military has just released a video showing that it put a spacecraft into orbit around the globe.
Russia’s Aerospace Forces successfully launched a Soyuz-2.1b rocket on Wednesday, delivering a satellite into orbit. The carrier blasted off from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in Arkhangelsk Region, according to a report by RT.
The United States has already accused Russia of using “space weapons” in the war with Ukraine.

The previous Soyuz-2.1b launch was conducted last month from Russia’s Vostochny Cosmodrome. The rocket delivered two Ionosfera-M heliogeophysical satellites into near-Earth orbit along with 53 small spacecraft; 49 Russian, two Iranian, one Russian-Chinese, and one Russian-Zimbabwean device.
A video of the take-off has been shared by Russia’s Defense Ministry. In a statement on its official Telegram channel, the MOD said the launch of the rocket and onboard spacecraft, which will “serve the interests of the Russian Ministry of Defense,” went smoothly.

After being sent into space, the Soyuz-2.1b rocket, which is a disposable three-stage medium-lift launch vehicle, was tracked by the ground-based automated control complex of the German Titov Main Test Space Center. “Stable telemetry communication was established and maintained with the spacecraft, its onboard systems are functioning normally,” the Russian report on the launch read.

Is this any indication that this war between Russia and Ukraine is going to expand into space? Or Is this just a mere coincidence?
