Russia`s space agency today blamed the crash of a rocket carrying one Russian and 17 foreign satellites on a malfunction of the Ukrainian-built booster rocket, according to AFP.

The Dnepr rocket, named after a river crossing Ukraine, failed on July 27, shortly after takeoff, and was later found some 150 kilometers from the launch site at Russia`s Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
