At 7:34 a.m. EST, the Soyuz MS-28 spacecraft docked with the International Space Station’s Rassvet module. NASA astronaut Chris Williams and Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and Sergei Mikaev launched at 4:27 a.m. (2:27 p.m. Baikonur time) from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. 

The Soyuz MS-28 spacecraft will automatically dock at approximately 7:38 a.m. EST today with the International Space Station's Rassvet module. It launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 4:27 a.m. (2:27 p.m. Baikonur time) with NASA astronaut Chris Williams and Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and Sergei Mikaev aboard.  

The crewed Soyuz MS-28 spacecraft is safely in orbit and headed for the International Space Station, following a launch at 4:27 a.m. EST (2:27 p.m. Baikonur time) from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, with NASA astronaut Chris Williams and Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and Sergei Mikaev aboard.  

NASA’s live launch coverage is underway on NASA+, Amazon Prime, YouTube, and more, as teams prepare for the launch of the Soyuz MS-28 spacecraft to the International Space Station. Launch is scheduled for 4:27 a.m. EST (2:27 p.m. Baikonur time) from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. 

One NASA astronaut and two Roscosmos cosmonauts are at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan counting down to a lift off on Thanksgiving Day to the International Space Station to begin an eight-month microgravity research mission. The seven-member Expedition 73 crew will expand to ten when the new trio arrives just over three hours after launch.

High intensity exercising and droplets teeming with particles were the main research topics aboard the International Space Station on Tuesday. The Expedition 73 crew is also preparing to welcome three new crewmates this week while another trio gets ready to return to Earth next month.

A Soyuz rocket rolled out to its launch pad at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan today to begin counting down to a Thanksgiving Day liftoff of three new crew members to the International Space Station.

In 2014, NASA awarded a Commercial Crew Transportation Capability contract to Boeing to fly astronauts to and from the International Space Station with its Starliner spacecraft. As part of its contract, Boeing was awarded up to six crewed flights to the orbital complex. After a thorough evaluation, NASA and Boeing have mutually agreed to modify […]

Expedition 73 wrapped up the work week continuing to study fluid physics and stem cells, preparing for next week’s new crew arrival, and unpacking a U.S. cargo spacecraft. The International Space Station residents also serviced exercise gear, performed life support system troubleshooting, and analyzed the orbital outpost’s microbial environment.
