NASA failed to start at the second attempt Orion spacecraft. He launched from the Baikonur Canaveral at 07:05 (15:05 GMT) on December 5 on Friday. The first attempt failed because of technical problems.
The purpose of the mission was the need to test the operation of all vehicle systems under real conditions. Orion crew must make a flight to Mars in 2021. According to the results of the first test flight of Orion splashdown in the Pacific Ocean, twice circled around the Earth.
The test flight of a new spacecraft Orion is a new stage in space exploration and in preparation for the flight to Mars, said a spokesman for US President Josh Ernest.
It is worth noting that, according to experts, alone colonize Mars world powers is difficult, since it does not have enough funds for introduction of sanctions.
So says Professor George Washington University, John Logsdon, who said that to develop a program of manned missions to Mars US and Russia should work together.
