At the Scientific and Testing Center of Rocket and Space Industry, ground fire tests were carried out on the first stage of the "Soyuz-5" rocket. The tests involved the RD-171MV engine with a thrust of 800 tons, using kerosene and liquid oxygen components for a duration of 160 seconds. The interaction of onboard systems was successfully verified during the testing.

The first stage of "Soyuz-5" is a crucial component of a prospective super-heavy-class rocket. These tests mark a significant step towards the planned launch of "Soyuz-5" from the Baikonur Cosmodrome by the end of this year. A video showcasing the tests will be released tomorrow, promising an impressive display of power.
