MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 30th July, 2020) The state commission at the Baikonur cosmodrome has given a nod for the launch of the Proton-M carrier rocket with telecommunications satellites Express-80 and Express-103, which will take a record 18 hours to orbit, Russian space agency Roscosmos said on Thursday.
