Russia successfully launched a Soyuz Test rocket equipped with a Fregat accelerator unit able to carry payloads into high orbit, but lost the Fregat unit upon its reentry to Earth. The rocket took off from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, carrying only a dummy payload into space, in a test that was part of Russia's ongoing research into developing vehicles and technologies that would eventually serve the orbiting ISS.
