Insurers paid more than 500 million rubles for the death of "Blitz-M"

This was reported by RIA Novosti with reference to data from the presentation of the Ingosstrakh insurance company.

From the materials of the insurance company it follows that last year the losses on the risks of "Roscosmos" due to the destruction of the spacecraft amounted to 501 million 397 thousand rubles.

A spherical glass satellite was launched in December 2019 from the Plesetsk cosmodrome.

"Blitz-M" was launched into the calculated orbit, but it could not separate from the upper stage and be used as a target for calibrating ground stations that track space objects.
