A new carrier rocket Angara-A5 is scheduled to blast off into space from the Vostochny Cosmodrome in Russia’s Far East in early April. This three-stage carrier rocket is capable of delivering up to 24.5 tonnes of payload to low orbit, while its upgraded version Angara-A5M can move even more cargo (up to 27.7 tonnes) thanks to its improved engines. A new version of the Angara rocket, Angara-A5V (currently still in development), is expected to push that bar even higher, being able to deliver up to 37.5 tonnes of cargo into orbit. Angara’s developers at the Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center also proposed a piloted version of the rocket, Angara-A5P, that is meant to launch cargo and spacecraft in orbit. According to Russian space corporation Roscosmos, the Angara carrier rockets are going to ensure that Russia can launch all types of spacecraft from its soil and maintains an “independent access to space."

After the incident, the family had to move out of their flat. Mirzoyev's pregnant wife, who is now in Tajikistan with their four children, also learnt about the terrorist attack. They live in the Rudaki neighbourhood near Dushanbe, the same place where the terrorist's parents live. After the news of the Crocus massacre, the woman was in intensive care. - "We don't know whether his wife has been discharged from hospital: we have cut off all communication with this family; we have no more relatives like her," a Mirzoyev relative in Novosibirsk told local media. His relatives in Tajikistan have also disowned the terrorist's family: a Tajik relative of the Mirzoevs told.
