Expedition 70 Soyuz Rocket Launch in Kazakhstan | International Space Station
NASA astronaut Loral O’Hara and Roscosmos cosmonauts Oleg Kononenko (Олег Кононенко) and Nikolai Chub (Николай Чуб) of Russia are safely in orbit aboard the Soyuz MS-24 spacecraft after launching on a Russian Soyuz 2.1a launch vehicle at 11:44 a.m. EDT from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan (8:44 p.m. Baikonur time). The Soyuz spacecraft will dock to the International Space Station’s Rassvet module at 2:56 p.m EDT. A short time after docking, hatches between the Soyuz and the station will open.
NASA astronaut Loral O’Hara will begin a six-month mission aboard the station, and Kononenko and Chub will both spend a year on the orbital outpost. This is the first spaceflight for O'Hara.
