#Videos posted on social media and shot by local residents appear to show a #drone hitting a storage tank and causing an explosions at an #OilDepot in #Oryol. Local residents claimed that at least one storage tank caught fire as a result of the attack, #ASTRA reported. It was not immediately clear which oil depot was targeted in the attack.

It's often said that getting into orbit is less about going up, and more about going sideways very fast. So in that sense, the recent launch conducted by aerospace startup Astra could be seen as the vehicle simply getting the order of operations wrong. Instead of going up and then burning towards the horizon, it made an exceptionally unusual sideways flight before finally moving skyward.
As you might expect, the booster didn't make it to orbit. But not for lack of trying. In fact, that the 11.6 meter (38 feet) vehicle was able to navigate through its unprecedented lateral maneuver and largely correct its flight-path is a testament to the engineering prowess of the team at the Alameda, California based company. It's worth noting that it was the ground controller's decision to cut the rocket's engines once it had flown high and far enough away to not endanger anyone on the ground that ultimately ended the flight; the booster itself was still fighting to reach space until the very last moment.
Astra's rocket on the launch pad.
There's a certain irony to the fact that this flight, the third Astra has attempted since their founding in 2016, was the first to be live streamed to YouTube. Had the company not pulled back their usual veil of secrecy, we likely wouldn't have such glorious high-resolution footage of what will forever be remembered as one of the most bizarre rocket mishaps in history. The surreal image of the rocket smoothly sliding out of frame as if it was trying to avoid the camera's gaze has already become a meme online, arguably reaching a larger and more diverse audience than would have resulted from a successful launch. As they say, there's no such thing as bad press.
Naturally, the viral clip has spurred some questions. You don't have to be a space expert to know that the pointy end of the rocket is usually supposed to go up, but considering how smooth the maneuver looks, some have even wondered if it wasn't somehow intentional. With so much attention on this unusual event, it seems like the perfect time to take a close look at how Astra's latest rocket launch went, quite literally, sideways.
Everyone knows that sending a rocket to space is hard, but unless you've read up on the Tsiolkovsky rocket equation, you might not realize just how true that statement really is. Even if everything goes right, which is already a lot to ask for, the physics that govern chemical rockets are particularly brutal. Put in the most simplistic of terms, the "Rocket Equation" governs how much of a rocket's liftoff mass is dedicated to propellant versus what it's actually carrying. In the aerospace community, this is often expressed as a booster's payload fraction.
The Space Shuttle only managed a payload fraction of around 1.5%, while the SpaceX Falcon 9 is capable of slightly more than 4%. Astra hasn't provided detailed specifications for their current launch vehicle, but given how small it is and some back of the envelope math, we can assume it's operating at a payload fraction of not more than 1%. We can further estimate that, at the time of liftoff, the vehicle's thrust-to-weight ratio (TWR) must be quite low.
The destructive failure of one of the rocket's engines, captured in just four frames from the live video.
Which is precisely what we saw in the live video from the August 28th launch. Right after ignition, one of the rocket's five first stage engines failed. This reduction of thrust brought the TWR of the vehicle so close to equilibrium that, instead of climbing vertically, it entered into a remarkably stable hover. As luck would have it, the failed engine happened to be the one diametrically opposed to the launch tower, which meant the asymmetrical thrust of the remaining engines moved the vehicle laterally away from the launch pad. Had one of the other engines failed, there's an excellent chance the rocket would have struck the launcher or some other piece of ground support equipment.
The rocket, now clear of any structures and traveling horizontally, was still consuming propellant at an incredible rate. At around five seconds after engine startup, it had burned through enough fuel and oxidizer that the mass of the vehicle was once again below the total thrust of the engines. With a positive TWR, the vehicle began to climb away from the launch area, albeit at a far lower rate than normal. During the live stream, you can see the obvious confusion of the camera operator, who expected the rocket to be much higher at this point in the flight and needed to pan back down to keep it in frame.

As the rocket climbed higher and faster it started to look like a fairly typical launch, and after about a minute of flight time, you'd never have known how close the vehicle came to being obliterated at liftoff. Its reduced thrust and skewed ascent meant it would never make it all the way to space, but it certainly made a valiant effort.
Just before the mission elapsed timer clicked over to 2:00, an astonished member of ground control could be overheard on the live stream saying that the rocket was actually approaching its nominal downrange trajectory; a sentence that seems destined to become an Easter egg in the next Kerbal Space Program.
It's easy to look at this launch and see it as a major setback for Astra. Indeed, the company's stock price plummeted nearly 20% when trading started on Monday morning. But while clearly not the ideal outcome, the reality is, things could have gone far worse. For one thing, the fact that the launch site was completely unscathed is nothing short of miraculous. When an Antares rocket exploded a few seconds after liftoff in 2014, it took nearly two years to repair the launchpad at a cost of approximately $20 million.
The team at Astra was also undoubtedly able to collect valuable data about the vehicle's performance during this truncated flight. Remember, the rocket technically never failed. It was still flying strong, though not necessarily on the correct flight path, when the command to activate the flight termination system was given. At that point the rocket had flown for nearly two and a half minutes and reached an altitude of 50 kilometers (30 miles), an impressive accomplishment for a fledgling company that lofted their first vehicle just two years ago.
Finally, this event is definitive proof that whoever is handling the guidance and navigation systems on this rocket is well worth whatever they're being paid. An avionics package that can not only keep the vehicle balanced vertically while it's translating laterally but eventually find its way back to its prescribed trajectory afterwards could only be designed by the most steely-eyed. If there was ever a question as to whether or not you could build a rocket-powered Segway, it seems the fine folks at Astra just answered it for us.

#NRW ist ganz vorne dabei die #Impfwilligen zu verschrecken. In #Hessen z.B. wäre ich mit meinen #Vorerkrankungen schon vor den #Sommernferien durchgeimpft. Also habe ich mich im #Mai auf den Weg gemacht und #Biontec-Möglichkeiten gesucht und gefunden.
zum Termin kamen 200 andere und nach 2 Stunden warten sagte mir der Arzt strahlend: Wir haben nur noch #Astra!
Nun denn, also in den sauren #Apfel gebissen. Jetzt wird es aber kompliziert, denn danach sollte man ja 12 Wochen bis zur #Zweitimpfung warten, also hin und her gerechnet: 12 Wochen passt nicht ganz um nach den Ferien den vollen #Impfschutz zu erlangen, denn man hat ja noch die 2 Wochen nach der Impfung. Ich habe mich durch alle #Arztpraxen, #Impfzentren und #Krankenhäusern in OWL durchtelefoniert um einen Termin um den 30 July für Biontec zu bekommen. Ergebnis: Nur ein #Landarzt in #Fürstenau (hatte das Wartezimmer nach draussen in den Garten verlegt. Top!) konnte mir den Termin zusagen. Fast 100km fahren für einen Piks, für den die #Regierung enormen Werbeaufwand betreibt. Und warum nur dieser Dorfarzt in der Lage war, so etwas zu organisieren kann mir bislang keiner erklären.
Und jetzt könnte ich mich auch bei der Frauenärztin impfen lassen!
