Russia has put into orbit a satellite carried by a converted ballistic missile launched from a submerged nuclear submarine, the Russian navy said. "The Northern Fleet went ahead with the launch of a scientific satellite Kompas-2 from the Barents Sea with the help of a Shtil launcher," a navy spokesman said. The launch was carried out from the submarine Yekaterinburg commanded by Captain Sergei Rachug, he added. The satellite will study atmospheric, volcanic and seismic phenomena.
