From Wikipedia -- The preliminary report of the investigation into the July 2013 failure indicated that three of the first stage angular velocity sensors, responsible for yaw control, were installed in an incorrect orientation. As the error affected the redundant sensors as well as the primary ones, the rocket was left with no yaw control, which resulted in the failure
@@peterresetz5072 It's worse than that. The sensor can only be installed one way. Unfortunately when engineers makes a foolproof design, God made a better fool. It was theorized that the guy hammered the sensor backward.
This explosion was made worse by two things. 1. This rocket runs on highly toxic fuels, UDMH and N2O4, different from other rockets that would run on kerosene and hydrogen, so the chemical fallout over the region for this rocket was pretty bad. 2. The Russians don't believe in flight termination systems like nearly every US and ESA rocket has ever had, so it was able to carry on flying until it hit the ground. Particularly the toxic fuel issue is why Russia is moving to use the Angara heavy lift rocket instead as it uses the much less toxic kerosene and oxygen fuel mixture for the first stage.
Play it back at 1/4 speed and just a split instant before the rocket impact the ground, you can see a huge white spark from the rocket to the ground at its closest point.
You can already notice between the timestamps 0:10 and 0:12 that something is wrong. The flame visibly swung from right to left by at least 10 degrees. This couldn't be normal right at the lift-off.
@@paulmoffat9306 what engineer that was actually hired by the space agency, had installed the sensors correctly the last dozens of flights, but then decided to sabotage this one?

More GLONASS-Ms had launched before so I don’t think it was deliberate sabotage but idk whatever not that it matters anymore
It’s interesting - once the roll began, the gimbals lost most of their authority, which is understandable as the guidance and hydraulics aren’t designed to move that fast. It likely would have just kept going back and forth till someone hit FTS.

Does anyone know what the small 'spurts' of slightly different coloured emissions of gas or plasma are as the vehicle starts noticeably tilting off vertical?
I think thats exactly what the name say. A system to terminate the flight. A kind of Terminator. In this case, I expect something to let an out of control rocket explode.
The front shroud broke off due to aero forces, the shroud couldn't take that amount of force going down, as for the engine, I'm no expert in but my guess is that it's likely something to do with where the fuel is in the tank, the engine is still firing and could've set the fuel ablaze. Again I'm not strong in that field though so I could be wrong
I’ve never found an explanation of why the RSO didn’t detonate the SD when it made the obviously unrecoverable maneuver at the apex. Was it a mistake or is it really the protocol to let it return to the ground the way it did?
Russian rockets are not equipped with FTS. also since the N1 explosion on the pad all veichles cannot shut down the engines until t+40-50s (except for manned flights i think).

The cause was that one of the 3 satellites was upside down. And the controls recieved the wrong information and tries to correct it. Causing it to swing violently ultimately leading to this expensive disaster. These satellites we're alone $200 million.
If it travelled sideways a bit far and fell over a populated area, it would have been a disaster. How can they (or anyone) control it if anything like this were to happen?
Yeah, but who wants to be in charge of making sure that there's a multiple mile wide radius absolutely free of people when the rocket launches? Not really possible to keep them far enough away to be safe
The sound is wrong, edited or faked. At the camera distance which must have been about 1km, the sound would lag behind the visual explosion by three seconds or more.
Don't be ridiculous. When have the Russians ever lied about anything? Now finish your vodka and get back to clearing away that not-radioactive graphite.
A technician installed it's directional sensors upside down, which made the rocket think the sky was the ground and vice versa. It went down in an effort to "correct" towards what it thought was the sky
Revert to vehicle assembly building

Adds a remote guidance probe instead of an okto 2 for the probe
