MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 16th October, 2018) The next expedition will fly to the International Space Station (ISS) in early December, Sergey Krikalev, the executive director of manned space programs at the Russian State Space Corporation Roscosmos, said on Tuesday.
On Thursday, the booster failed to launch the Soyuz MS-10 spacecraft toward the ISS from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
Just minutes after the liftoff, the mission was aborted due to the booster's malfunction. The two-man crew escaped in a rescue capsule and returned on Earth unharmed. Immediately afterward, the Russian side, which had built the booster, launched an investigation into the incident. The next flight to the ISS was initially slated for December 20.
"The next flight was planned in December, but we will now try to make this flight a little earlier, the crew, which was expected to fly next, will fly in early December," Krikalev told the RT broadcaster.
