Launch vehicle "Soyuz-U" with a space truck "Progress M-12M" was launched on August 24 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome. During the flight the rocket at the site of the third stage (at 325th second), according to preliminary data, there was a violation of the propulsion system, which led to its crash shut down. The wreckage of the truck space, not burned in the dense atmosphere, presumably, have collapsed in the Altai Mountains. "The flights we offer a 9:00 (6:00 GMT), well here today, weather permitting, at 9:00, they (the search team) will work. The search will be conducted in Chemalsky and Turochaksky areas. Then – Ulagan (Ulagan), "- said. Forecasters from the Gorno-Altai meteorologist confirmed that in these three areas, the weather is good, no precipitation. "Only in the evening and Turochake Chemal probably going to rain, but it will not happen before 18:00 (15:00 GMT). Tomorrow we are expecting rain everywhere, "- said the representative of the meteorologist. On the eve of the bad weather prevented further search for the wreckage, "Progress." Walking the same search teams, according to the district authorities to involve in these places does not make sense because "the taiga few passable and very high vegetation will not allow a person to see the wreckage, even if it will be two meters away from them." Thus, the search going on since August 24, still to no avail. Earlier, a source in the space industry expressed RIA Novosti view that space debris of the truck has not yet been found due to the fact that it is completely burned in the atmosphere. For this reason, in rivers and soils of the Altai has not yet been found heptyl.
