Tengrinews.kz - A Kazakhstani managed to capture a photo of a "rocket trail" in the sky during a launch.
A resident of the Akmola region sent a photograph to our editorial office that is certainly worth attention. According to Maksim Dyndikov, the picture was taken by chance.
"I was sitting and chatting with friends in the car when I noticed a glowing object in the sky; at first, I thought it was a satellite. When the object got closer, I noticed a flash coming from it, and there was no doubt left - it was a rocket," he said.
The man specified that he took the photo at 9:30 PM in the village of Uzunkol in the Akmola region.

It should be noted that on the previous day, September 11, at 9:23 PM Astana time, a Soyuz-2.1a launch vehicle was launched from Site 31 of the Baikonur Cosmodrome with the piloted spacecraft Soyuz MS-26.
The Fesenkov Astrophysical Institute confirmed that the Kazakhstani's photo captured the stage of the rocket's entry into orbit. It is assumed that the image shows the launch of the piloted spacecraft Soyuz MS-26, which was scheduled for September 11, 2024.
