A few days ago, Soyuz MS-05 made a safe landing back on Earth, freeing up space on the station for the Expedition 54-55 crew of Anton Shkaplerov, Scott Tingle, and Norishige Kanai. This was an early morning launch here in the US, but it was mid-day at Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan – the perfect time and weather to see another beautiful launch of the legendary Soyuz booster.
Soyuz MS-07 will arrive at the station for a planned docking on the 19th – incidentally, shortly after this launch the recently launched Dragon CRS-13 vehicle arrived at the station and was berthed successfully.
No major comments to say here, just more of the usual basic coverage and launch video sharing. Enjoy!
