The upper stage of a failed Angara launch reentered harmlessly Wednesday. The Space Force's 18th Space Control Squadron said the Persei upper stage reentered at 4:08 p.m. Eastern over the South Pacific. The upper stage malfunctioned after a launch last week, stranding it in a low orbit that decayed. The launch was just the third for the Angara-A5 since 2014, all of which have carried only test payloads.
