Soyuz

A damaged Soyuz space capsule returned from the International Space Station (ISS) today without a crew. At 7:46 am EDT (5:46 pm local time), the descent module of the Soyuz MS-22 spacecraft made an automated parachute ground landing in Kazakhstan.

A Russian rescue ship has successfully docked with the International Space Station (ISS), allowing three stranded Russian and American astronauts to return to Earth a few months after a coolant leak disabled their own spacecraft.

The first manned Soyuz flight since the dramatic abort incident in October has lifted off from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. The Russian Soyuz MS-11 spacecraft launched at 6:31 am EST (5:31 pm Baikonur time) and docked with the International Space Station eight hours later.

When the Russian Progress MS-10 cargo spacecraft lifted off from Baikonur cosmodrome, Kazakhstan, ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst aboard the ISS captured a time-lapse video of the ascending Soyuz rocket as it began its two-day journey to the station.

The Russian Soyuz launcher reentered service today as the unmanned Roscosmos Progress 71 cargo ship lifted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome at 1:14 pm EST (12:14 am Saturday, November 17, Baikonur time zone).

Roscosmos announced today that manned Soyuz flights to the International Space Station (ISS) will resume on December 3, 2018 after an investigation into the aborted October 11 launch of the Soyuz-FG LV/ Soyuz MS-10 spacecraft​ found a faulty sensor in the first stage of the rocket​ was to blame.

In the wake of Thursday's launch abort of the Soyuz MS-10 spacecraft, NASA and the Russian space agency, Roscosmos, are determining the cause of the malfunction that resulted in the successful ballistic landing and recovery of the crew, as well as considering the future of the ISS.

NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexey Ovchinin were forced to make an unplanned descent through Earth's atmosphere today following a malfunction of their Soyuz launch vehicle. The crew has now touched down in Kazakhstan, where they are being attended by rescue personnel.

Over two weeks after an air leak was detected and sealed aboard the ISS, NASA and Roscosmos have issued a joint statement saying that they have complete confidence in one another, as well as in the station crew, that the investigation is well in hand, and that the ISS is operating normally.

According to Russian media reports, Roscosmos believes that last week's air leak aboard the ISS was more likely due to human error back on Earth than the impact of a micrometeorite.

There was drama aboard the International Space Station (ISS) today as the astronauts aboard raced to find and seal an air leak detected in one of the Soyuz spacecraft attached to the station. The leak, which was detected yesterday, appears to have been caused by a micrometeorite.

A Soyuz TMA-17M blasted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome last night, as it undertook a journey to the International Space Station. However, soon after reaching space it became apparent that the spacecraft's port solar array had failed to open.
