Problem identified on Rostock Booster

Ban lifted. Comments to RIA (where I work) just a few hours ago.

"The cause of the crash of the Rokot booster (used to launch the CryoSat satellite) has been determined," Alexei Kuznetsov said.

"It was the improper flight program that resulted in the failure of the Briz-KM upper stage's control system to give a command to shut down the engine of the second stage of the carrier rocket."
