Moscow
(ANTARA News/Reuters) - Three Russian satellites, being sent into orbit to
complete Russia`s GLONASS navigation system, fell off course on Sunday and
crashed into the Pacific Ocean not far from the Hawaii Islands, Ria News Agency
reported.
A spokesman
for Russia`s space agency Roscosmos told Reuters the satellites had strayed
from their course and caused an "un-planned situation." He did
not confirm that they had crashed.
The
satellites were being carried by the "Proton-M" rocket carrier, which
blasted off early on Sunday from the Baikonur space centre in Kazakhstan.
