“At that moment. it will reach its maximum speed of more than 32 kilometres (about 20 miles) a second,”’ Tass said.
This is néarly three times as fast.as the speed of the launch- ing Friday which threw the 1%- ton rocket clear~of the earth's

The earth, speeding along in or- bit at 146 miles a second, travel- led only 8,370,000 miles in the same amount of time.
