The Russian tricolor was launched into the stratosphere in honor of the Day of Russia; it rose to an altitude of more than 26 km in the Vladimir region, RIA Novosti reports.
On the eve of Russia Day, activists of the Popular Front, together with partners, raised one of the main symbols of the country into the stratosphere. For this, the aircraft was launched with a flag from the Razdolye airfield in the Vladimir region.
It is noted that the average flight duration into the stratosphere is about two hours. All this time the cameras are filming the mission. In addition to the flag, a new educational constructor “stratospheric satellite”, created for engineering education of schoolchildren, was undergoing flight tests on board.
