Ngenxa yokuqhuma kwethangi likaphethiloli esiteji esiphezulu seFregat-SB, izingcezu ezingu-65 zemfucumfucu zahlala emkhathini. Mayelana nalokhu ku-akhawunti yakho ye-Twitter 18th Space Control Squadron, US Air Force. Le yunithi ibandakanyeka ekutholeni, ekuhlonzeni nasekulandeleni izinto zokwenziwa ku-low-Earth orbit.
Kuyaphawuleka ukuthi akukho ukushayisana kwemfucumfucu nezinye izinto okurekhodiwe. Ngokusho kwamasosha aseMelika, ukuqhuma kwethangi likaphethiloli kwenzeka ngoMeyi 8 phakathi kuka-7:02 no-8:51 isikhathi saseMoscow. Imbangela yokuqhuma ayikaziwa, kodwa kuyacaciswa ukuthi akubanga khona ukushayisana nenye into. Akucaciswanga ukuthi imfucumfucu ibeka engcupheni amasathelayithi ku-orbit. Inkonzo yabezindaba yenhlangano kahulumeni iRoscosmos ibingakaphawuli ngalesi sigameko.
Ake sikukhumbuze ukuthi iFregat-SB iwukuguqulwa kwesiteji esiphezulu seFregat nge-jettisonable block yamathangi. I-"Fregat-SB" ihloselwe izimoto zokwethulwa kwesigaba esimaphakathi nesindayo. Lezi zigaba eziphezulu zasetshenziswa ukwethula i-Russian astrophysical observatory i-Spektr-R ku-orbit kurokhethi ye-Zenit-3M ngo-2011, kanye nokuthumela amasathelayithi angama-34 enkampani yaseBrithani i-OneWeb emkhathini ngerokhethi ye-Soyuz-2.1b kulo nyaka.
Ngo-2017, ngemva kokwethulwa kwemoto yokwethulwa kwe-Soyuz-2.1b esuka e-Eastern Upper Stage Fregat cosmodrome, iFregat yazithola isendaweni engena-radar, kanti i-Meteor-M meteorological satellite ayizange ixhumane. Kamuva kwamenyezelwa ukuthi uwele olwandle.
