The Soyuz rocket lifted off from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in northern Russia at 5:44 am EST (1044 GMT) Friday and placed a spacecraft identified as Kosmos 2455 into an elliptical, inclined orbit. Russian officials provided no details about the spacecraft's mission other than that it is a military spacecraft, although Western observers speculate that it is the first in a series of next-generation electronic reconnaissance satellites.
