A few hours ago the Soyuz MS-15 spacecraft was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan and after a little more than six hours reached the International Space Station with three astronauts on board: Oleg Skripochka, Jessica Meir to complete the Expedition 61 crew and Hazzaa Ali Almansoori, who will spend 8 days on the Station.
A few hours ago the Soyuz MS-14 spacecraft, which blasted off about last Wednesday from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, has reached the International Space Station. The integration test with the Soyuz 2.1a rocket was successful and the spacecraft reached its destination, even if it’s a few days late after the first docking attempt had to be aborted.
A few hours ago the Soyuz MS-14 spacecraft, which blasted off about two days ago from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, attempted to dock with the International Space Station but a communications problem forced to abort the maneuver. Cosmonauts Alexey Ovchinin and Alexander Skvortsov are working together with the Russian space agency Roscosmos to retry the docking on Monday while the Soyuz MS-14 remains at a safe distance.
A few hours ago the Progress MS-12 spacecraft blasted off atop a Soyuz 2.1a rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. After about nine minutes it successfully separated from the rocket’s last stage and was placed on its ultra-fast track in its resupply mission to the International Space Station also called Progress 73 or 73P. After almost 3.5 hours it reached the International Space Station docking with its Pirs module.
A little while ago the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft was captured by the Canadarm2 robotic arm on the International Space Station. Nick Hague, assisted by his colleagues Christina Koch and Andrew Morgan, managed the operation then started moving the Dragon to the berthing point at the Harmony module. The cargo spacecraft blasted off last Thursday.
