Soyuz MS-10 was a manned Soyuz spaceflight which aborted shortly after launch on 11 October 2018.[1][2] MS-10 was the 139th flight of a Soyuz spacecraft. It intended to transport two members of the Expedition 57 crew to the International Space Station. A few minutes after liftoff, the craft went into contingency abort due to a booster failure and had to return to Earth.

Launch anomaly

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. Shortly after, a contingency was declared and the spacecraft returned to Earth at a sharper than normal angle. At 08:55 UTC the search and rescue team was deployed to recover the crew and the spacecraft which had landed 20 kilometres (12 mi) east of Jezkazgan, Kazakhstan. Roughly 25 minutes after the search and rescue team took off, NASA announced they were in contact with Ovchinnin and Hague who both were in good shape. Search and recovery teams have reached the landing site. Hague of NASA and Ovchinin, Roscosmos, have exited the capsule. Teams are working to return the crew to Baikonur.

Following the anomaly, Russian news wire RIA reported all manned Soyuz launches were suspended, effectively trapping humans on Earth due to the retirement of the Space Shuttle, cancellation of Project Constellation, and the Commercial Crew Program still being months away from certification. NASA later stated Roskosmos was forming a team to start an investigation.
