For the first time in the history of launching spacecraft in Russia I shot interactive 360° spherical panoramas during the launch a Soyuz-U rocket carrying an unmanned Progress M-THC 12M cargo vehicle from the Baikonur Cosmodrome.

Unfortunately, due to an engine failure, it never reached orbit and crashed in Siberia just 340 seconds after launch.

While this was bad news for the international space industry Andrew's panoramas brought more media and public attention to Russia's role as the gateway to the International Space Station. Andrew's panoramas are featured in DER SPIEGEL's iPad issue number 35.
