A collision occurred during the separation of the first and second stages," the Roscosmos official said. "A deviation from the standard trajectory occurred and apparently the lower part of the second stage disintegrated. The rocket stopped its normal flight and after that the automatic system did its work," Krikalev said. An element of the booster's first stage collided with the second stage, Krikalev said. "This could have been caused by the failure of the system of the normal separation, which should have been activated. We will analyze the causes in detail," the Roscosmos official said.[/i]

Different versions of the program are being considered," Krikalev said.[/i]
