NASA Astronaut Describes Close Call Following Failed Launch 16 October 2018, by Marcia Dunn NASA astronaut describes close call following failed launch 16 October 2018, by Marcia Dunn It was the first aborted launch for the Russians in 35 years and only the third in history. Like each one before, the rocket's safety system kept the crew alive. Hague—the first American to experience a launch abort like this—communicated in Russian throughout the more than half-hour ordeal. "All of my instincts and reflexes inside the capsule are to speak Russian," said Hague, who had two years of training in Russia. "We knew that if we wanted to be successful, we In this frame from video from NASA TV, NASA astronaut needed to stay calm and we needed to execute the Nick Hague, who survived the Oct. 11, 2018, failed procedures in front of us as smoothly and efficiently launch and emergency landing, speaks Tuesday, Oct. as we could," Hague told The Associated Press 16, 2018, from the NASA Johnson Space Center in from Houston.

"We're Ovchinin, were flung from side to side and shoved kind of hanging upside-down from our straps ... and back hard into their seats, as the drama unfolded we looked at each other, big grins.

"Any time you're launching yourself into space and your booster has a problem when you're going 1,800 meters per second, things are pretty dynamic and they happen very fast," he said. He's grateful the emergency system worked despite the fact it hadn't been called into action for decades. His emotions bubbled up once he was reunited with his wife, their two young sons and his parents, back at the launch site. His youngest wanted to know when he was going back to space. Hague said he has no clue as to when he'll get a second shot, but is ready as soon as he gets the go- ahead. A Russian accident investigation is continuing, with all crew launches to the space station on hold. The space station, meanwhile, is managing for now with a crew of three. "What can you do? Sometimes you don't get a vote," Hague said. "You just try to celebrate the little gifts that you get, like walking the boys to school this morning." © 2018 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

That accident was the first aborted crew launch for the Russian space program since 1983, when two Soviet cosmonauts safely jettisoned after a launch pad explosion. NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine congratulated the crew on a successful launch. "So proud of Nick Hague for persevering through last October's launch that didn't go as planned," he tweeted. Speaking at a pre-launch news conference at Baikonur, the crew said they trusted the rocket and U.S. astronauts Christina Hammock Koch, centre, Nick fully believed in the success of their mission.

  • Russia May Bring Forward Manned Launch After Rocket Failure 12 October 2018
    Russia may bring forward manned launch after rocket failure 12 October 2018 The next Soyuz launch had been scheduled to take a new three-person crew to the ISS on December 20 and a Progress cargo ship had been set to blast off on October 31. Leaving ISS unmanned? Veteran cosmonaut Krikalyov said that "in theory" the ISS could remain unmanned but added Russia would do "everything possible not to let this happen." Credit: CC0 Public Domain A space walk planned for mid-November has also been cancelled, he said. The crew had planned to examine a hole in a Russian spacecraft docked at the orbiting station.

    Russia stages first Soyuz launch since accident 16 November 2018 made an emergency landing and escaped unharmed. It was the first such incident in the history of post- Soviet space travel. The Progress MS-10 will take around 48 hours to reach the ISS, bringing with it fuel, oxygen, water and scientific materials. A commission to probe the October 11 accident reported that the flight was aborted because a sensor part had been damaged during assembly. © 2018 AFP The launch is seen as a rehearsal for the next manned voyage, planned for December 3 A Russian Soyuz rocket with a cargo vessel blasted off Friday in the first launch to the International Space Station (ISS) since a manned accident last month. The Soyuz-FG rocket took off at the scheduled time of 1814 GMT from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, images from Russian space agency Roskosmos showed. The launch is seen as a rehearsal for the next manned voyage, planned for December 3. That flight will carry Russian cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko, Canadian astronaut David Saint- Jacques, and NASA's Anne McClain to the ISS.
