Another Fregat failure

[MartG]

Apparently today's launch of a Russian satellite has failed when the Fregat upper stage fired in the wrong direction, de-orbiting itself and the payload

Pre-launch article about the mission is here https://spaceflightnow.com/2017/11/27/soyuz-rocket...

It would seem that the flight control software thought it was launching from Baikonur, not Vostochny
