MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 16th October, 2018) The commission investigating the Soyuz-FG carrier rocket accident will present its preliminary findings by the end of next week, 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 International Space Station (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 preliminary results are expected to be presented around next week, maybe toward the end of next week," Krikalev told the RT broadcaster.
