Putin lambasts space officials after launch delay
Russian President Vladimir Putin has urged space officials to fix "hitches" after flying thousands of miles to see the first rocket launch from a new cosmodrome, only for it to be delayed.
The Soyuz launch from the Vostochny space port, about 5,500km (3,500 miles) east of Moscow, was called off just minutes before the planned lift-off.
Officials blamed a mechanical failure, and the launch was rescheduled for Thursday.
Mr Putin will stay on until then.
"The fact is there is a large number of hitches," the president said at a meeting with the country's top space officials on Wednesday.
"That is bad. There should be an appropriate reaction."
