MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 19th January, 2019) The Russian Soyuz MS-12 spacecraft with cosmonaut Alexei Ovchinin and NASA astronaut Nick Hague, who failed to reach the International Space Station (ISS) in October due to a rocket launch abort, as well as astronaut Christina Koch may fly to the station on March 14, which will be two weeks past the initially scheduled date, a source in the aerospace industry told Sputnik on Saturday.

In December, Roscosmos chief Dmitry Rogozin said that Ovchinin and Hague will travel to the ISS on March 1. However, in January, Rogozin said that the flight of the mission might be rescheduled to April.

"The launch of the Soyuz MS-12 spacecraft is scheduled for March 14 in the provisional launch plan," the source said.
