A Soyuz rocket launched a weather satellite and more than 30 smallsats early Friday. The Soyuz-2.1b rocket lifted off from the Vostochny Cosmodrome in Russia's Far East at 1:41 am EDT (0541 GMT) Friday. The primary payload for the Soyuz was the Meteor M2-2 weather satellite, a replacement for one lost in a Soyuz launch failure in November 2017. Also on the rocket were 32 smallsats for various customers, including Iceye, NSLComm and Spire.
