Russia put into orbit a satellite carried by a converted ballistic missile launched from a submerged nuclear submarine, the Russian navy said.
“The Northern Fleet on Friday at 10:50 pm went ahead with the launch of a scientific satellite Kompas-2 from the Barents Sea with the help of a Shtil launcher,” a navy spokesman said.
The launch was carried out from the submarine Yekaterinburg commanded by Captain Sergei Rachug, he added.
The satellite will study atmospheric, volcanic and seismic phenomena.
