]]> RuslanA Russian transport plane had to make an emergency landing in Ulyanovsk, Russia, on October 28.

The An-124-100 Ruslan aircraft, owned by Volga-Dnieper Airlines, was transporting a European communications satellite Astra 2G from Moscow, Russia, to Baikonur, Kazakhstan, when the crew noticed an increase in temperature of its 4th engine. The engine was then shut off and the plane was diverted for emergency landing, after consultation with the client.

The plane landed uneventfully and was taken for maintenance. The company confirmed that many parts of the engine were replaced.

The Astra 2G satellite is scheduled to be launched from the Baikonur space center by a Proton-M carrier rocket, in the end of November. The satellite will provide communication services to various countries in Asia, Europe and Central Africa.
