41-636: Soyuz MS-10 was a crewed Soyuz MS spaceflight that aborted shortly after launch on 11 October 2018 due to a failure of the Soyuz-FG launch vehicle boosters . MS-10 was the 139th flight of a Soyuz spacecraft. It was 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. By

123-456: A ball joint supporting the errant side booster was deformed during assembly, preventing proper separation of the side booster, while the sensor and separation motor had worked properly. After the investigation identified an assembly error that would require no material change to the Soyuz-FG configuration, the next crewed Soyuz flight ( MS-11 ) was scheduled for 3 December 2018. Within a day of
164-663: A full state commission to investigate the incident, and the BBC reported that a criminal investigation was also expected. A few weeks prior to the failed launch, another investigation had commenced into how a hole came to be drilled into the wall of the Soyuz MS-09 capsule that was then docked at the International Space Station. After collecting the debris of the rocket, the Soyuz MS-10 commission started
205-486: A reentry mass of 5,000 kilograms (11,000 lb); while the Soyuz MS provides the same crew with ten cubic metres (350 cu ft) of living space while the reentry module weighs 2,950 kilograms (6,500 lb). Soyuz can carry up to three cosmonauts and provide life support for them for about 30 person-days. The life support system provides a nitrogen/oxygen atmosphere at sea level partial pressures. The atmosphere

By moving as much equipment and space as possible into the orbital module, which does not have to be shielded or decelerated during re-entry , the Soyuz three-part craft is larger and lighter than two-part designs. By comparison, the Apollo spacecraft 's pressurized command module provided a crew of three six cubic metres (210 cu ft) of living space and had
287-416: A space station, as the hatch, which enables it to function as an airlock, is part of the descent module. The parachute system is activated at an altitude of about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi). Two pilot parachutes deploy first, followed by a drogue chute that slows the spacecraft from 230 to 80 metres per second (830 to 290 km/h; 510 to 180 mph). The main parachute then deploys, further reducing
328-471: A successful landing. The abort occurred at an altitude of approximately 50 kilometres (31 miles); the spacecraft reached an apogee of 93 km (58 mi) then landed 19 minutes and 41 seconds after launch. At 08:55 UTC the search and rescue team was deployed to recover the crew and the spacecraft, which had landed 402 kilometres (250 mi) from the launch site and 20 kilometres (12 mi) east of Jezkazgan , Kazakhstan . Approximately 25 minutes after

697-400: The ISS provides larger, dedicated airlocks. The side port is the crew’s entry point when boarding the spacecraft on the launch pad. Compared to previous versions, the orbital module of the Soyuz MS has additional anti-meteoroid shielding. The mid-section of the spacecraft is the reentry module (Russian: Спускаемый Аппарат [СА] , romanized: Spuskaemiy Apparat [SA] ). It is where
738-411: The Soyuz has an unusual sequence of events prior to re-entry. The spacecraft is turned engine-forward and the main engine is fired for de-orbiting fully 180° ahead of its planned landing site. This requires the least propellant for re-entry, the spacecraft traveling on an elliptical Hohmann orbit to a point where it will be low enough in the atmosphere to re-enter. Early Soyuz spacecraft would then have

However, a pilot can operate the spacecraft independently of ground control if necessary. The forward-most section of the spacecraft is the orbital module (Russian: Бытовой Отсек [БО] , romanized: Bitovoy Otsek [BO] ), also referred to as the habitation module. The module features three ports. The forward port
820-422: The carrier rocket's first and second stages. "A deviation from the standard trajectory occurred and apparently the lower part of the second stage disintegrated," he said. Shortly after, a contingency was declared and the spacecraft carrying the crew performed an emergency separation, returning to Earth in a ballistic trajectory , during which the crew experienced "about six to seven times Earth's gravity" followed by
861-489: The communications and navigation subsystems. An evolution of the Soyuz TMA-M spacecraft, the Soyuz MS features minimal external changes, mainly in the placement of antennas, sensors, and thrusters. It is used by Roscosmos for human spaceflight missions. Soyuz MS-01 conducted its maiden flight on 7 July 2016, heading to the International Space Station (ISS). The mission included a two-day checkout phase to validate

The spacecraft also has a system of low-thrust engines for orientation, attached to the intermediate compartment (Russian: Переходной Отсек [ПхО] , romanized: Perekhodnoi Otsek [PkhO] ). Outside the service module are the sensors for the orientation system and the solar array, which is oriented towards the sun by rotating the spacecraft. Because its modular construction differs from that of previous designs,

The heat shield is jettisoned at an altitude of about 5.8 kilometres (3.6 mi), revealing six solid-propellant soft-landing motors that fire just 1 metre (3.3 ft) above the ground, slowing the descent rate to less than 2 metres per second (7.2 km/h; 4.5 mph). The seats inside the descent module, which are fitted with shock absorbers and liners custom molded to each crew member's body shape, cushion
1025-402: The design requirements for the reentry module was for it to have the highest possible volumetric efficiency (internal volume divided by hull area). The best shape for this is a sphere, but such a shape can provide no lift, which results in a purely ballistic reentry . Ballistic reentries are hard on the occupants due to high deceleration and can't be steered beyond their initial deorbit burn. That
1066-442: The docking port. The orbital module of the Soyuz MS includes a small forward-facing window, which allows the crew, particularly the flight engineer, to assist the commander with manual docking if automated systems fail. A hatch between the orbital and descent modules can be sealed, allowing the orbital module to serve as an airlock. Cosmonauts could theoretically exit through the side port, though this feature has never been used, as
1107-498: The final impact. Soyuz missions typically land in the evening so that recovery helicopters can more easily see the spacecraft as it descends in the twilight, illuminated by the sun when it is above the shadow of the Earth. Since the beginning of Soyuz missions to the ISS, only five have performed nighttime landings. The Soyuz MS received the following upgrades with respect to the Soyuz TMA-M : Soyuz MS-11 From Misplaced Pages,
