The rocket carrying the satellites had been programmed with the wrong coordinates, he said, saying it had been given bearings for take-off from a different cosmodrome - Baikonur - which Moscow leases from Kazakhstan.

More a failure in communication than a programming error. Also a failure in testing and reviewing procedures.

That's the cause, not the effect.
Such a mistake could have ended with the rocket in the wrong orbit.
The article is ambiguous.

You should read it as: "some programmer was fired instead of management", just a message to cover their asses.
