ISS-färd misslyckades - Kosmonaut + astronaut överlevde [2018-10-11]

The Soyuz MS-10 launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan to the International Space Station at 4:40 a.m. EDT Thursday, October 11 (2:40 p.m. in Baikonur). Shortly after launch, there was an issue with the booster. Teams have confirmed the spacecraft separated from the booster and are in contact with the crew as the capsule returns in a ballistic decent mode.

Teams have confirmed the crew have landed and Nick Hague and Aleksey Ovchinin are in good condition. Search and rescue teams have been deployed to the landing site and are in contact with the crew.

En rymdkapsel har tvingat nödlanda sedan den drabbats av fel strax efter uppskjutningen i Kazakstan. Två personer befinner sig ombord på väg mot den internationella rymdstationen ISS.

Fallskärmar har synts vid den rymdraket som just skjutits upp från Kazakstan och vid vilken en ”olycka” har inträffat. Den ryska Soyuz-raketen uppges ha fått problem med motorn en bit upp i atmosfären.

Farkosten var på väg mot den internationella rymdstationen ISS. En rysk kosmonaut och en amerikansk astronaut befann sig ombord och båda är vid liv och mår efter omständigheterna bra rapporterar Reuters.

"The crew is returning to Earth in a ballistic descent mode. Teams are working to obtain additional information from our Russian partners. Search and rescue teams are in the air and heading towards the expected touchdown location for the Soyuz spacecraft returning to Earth carrying two crew members."
The ballistic descent is a sharper angle of landing compared to normal, NASA said.

The search and recovery team has reached the landing site, and the crew is out of the capsule and in good condition.

RIA Novosti quotes industry sources as saying that telemetry analysis of the failed #Soyuz MS-10 launch points toward possible pyrotechnics separation problem between the first and second stage...

Search and recovery teams reached Ovchinin and Hague about 90 minutes after they had launched. The pair ended up landing about 12 miles (20 kilometers) east of Zhezkazgan, Kazakhstan.

A few minutes after liftoff, which took place at 08:40 UTC, the crew reported feeling weightless and mission control declared a booster had failed. A radio call indicated "rocket failure" had occurred 2 minutes 45 seconds into flight. Shortly after, a contingency was declared and the spacecraft carrying the crew performed an emergency separation from the rocket. It returned to Earth at a sharper than normal angle, called a "ballistic descent". Due to the angle, the crew experienced 6.7G during re-entry to the atmosphere.

At 08:55 UTC the search and rescue team was deployed to recover the crew and the spacecraft and crew which had landed 402 kilometres (250 mi) from the launch site and 20 kilometres (12 mi) east of Jezkazgan, Kazakhstan. Approximately 25 minutes after the search and rescue team took off, NASA announced they were in contact with Ovchinin and Hague. NASA TV broadcast photographs of the crew undergoing medical tests and apparently healthy at Jezkazgan airport at 12:04 UTC. The crew flew on to Baikonur Cosmodrome to meet their families
