On October 7th, 2005 the IRDT-2R demonstrator was launched into a suborbital trajectory by a Russian Volna launcher from a Russian naval submarine in the Barents Sea. The demonstrator was planned to land in Kamchatka. Received telemetry data confirmed the initial phases of the mission to be nominal.
