Russia's new homegrown Soyuz 5 rocket aces debut launch

Russia successfully launches its new Soyuz 5 rocket on a suborbital test flight from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, marking the rocket's first-ever mission. The Soyuz 5 rocket performed as planned, with the first and second stages functioning correctly before reentering the Pacific Ocean.
