Soyuz

The 2018-10-11 Soyuz failure raised doubts about the schedule of other Soyuz missions.

A third unmanned Soyuz launch carrying a Progress resupply vehicle to the International Space Station is scheduled for 2018-11-18.

A Soyuz launch of a military satellite took place late 2018-10-24 from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in northern Russia and was apparently a success.

Roscosmos received a preliminary report into the Soyuz MS-10 accident on 2018-10-20 and set a final report due on 2018-10-30.

The Soyuz MS-10 spacecraft launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome with Expedition 57 Flight Engineer Nick Hague of NASA and Flight Engineer Alexey Ovchinin of Roscosmos.

A state commission investigating the 2018-10-11 Soyuz MS-10 accident met 2018-10-20 and approved a preliminary report on the cause of the failure during the launch.

Roscosmos planned in early October to complete the investigation into the Soyuz MS-09 hole by mid-November after a cosmonaut spacewalk, and that spacewalk was postponed after the Soyuz MS-10 launch failure.

Soyuz MS-11 was scheduled to launch in mid-December prior to the Soyuz MS-10 accident to deliver an American, a Canadian and a Russian to the International Space Station.

The BepiColombo mission began in 2000 and grew too large to fit in a Soyuz rocket, requiring a switch to the more expensive Ariane 5.

Nick Hague was the NASA astronaut on the aborted Soyuz MS-10 launch to the International Space Station on 2018-10-11.

Nick Hague said he was taking time off to spend with his family after the Soyuz MS-10 abort.

The Soyuz MS-09 spacecraft on the ISS will reach the end of its certified on-orbit lifetime of approximately 200 days in late December 2018.

If Soyuz spacecraft were not ready to return to service by late December 2018, the station partners would have to decide whether to extend Soyuz MS-09’s time in orbit or to leave the ISS uncrewed temporarily for the first time in 18 years.

The Soyuz MS-10 spacecraft used its launch abort system about two minutes after liftoff on 2018-10-10.

The International Space Station is likely to have only a three-person crew for an extended period following the 2018-10-11 Soyuz MS-10 failure.

Russia suspended Soyuz flights amid the investigation into the 2018-10-11 Soyuz MS-10 abort.

China currently uses 7.8-ton Shenzhou spacecraft based on the Soyuz for trips to low Earth orbit.

Eumetsat has two second-generation MetOp satellites, Metop-SG A1 and Metop-SG B1, planned to launch on Soyuz rockets between 2021 and 2023.
