Plusieurs sources fiables indiquent que l'essai est à nouveau un échec. Le problème viendrait du moteur RD-0110R, qui aurait provoqué l'arrêt d'urgence 50 secondes avant la fin de l'essai. Cette fois, toutefois, il n'y aurait aucun dégât ni sur le lanceur, ni sur le banc d'essai.

Mais aucune confirmation officielle pour l'instant.

On June 4, OAO Kuznetsov announced that the first stage of the Soyuz rocket successfully went through a firing test. According to the company's statement disseminated by the official Russian media, the NK-33A engine "functioned according to a nominal sequence and the operational logic of all systems of the rocket stage, confirming its high reliability." The statement provided no information on the duration of the test or other details. A poster on the Novosti Kosmonavtiki web forum explained that the test has been qualified as a success despite the stage fired for 150 out of planned 202 seconds. The firing was cut short after the leak had been detected in one of the propellant supply lines leading to the RD-0110R steering engine. The main NK-33A engine functioned as planned. The culprit was found to be related to the non standard interfaces in the propellant line of the experimental unit. In particular, they were connected with bolts, rather than welded together. Since such interfaces would not be used on the actual rocket, the test was certified as successful.

Là où je doute, c'est qu'il y a tellement de versions de Soyouz maintenant qu'on ne sait plus de quelles fusées on parle ; je veut qu'il y ait une marque de fabrique et une réputation admirable, mais il serait peut-être nécessaire de donner des petits noms charmants à ces lanceurs différents, si j'ose dire ;
