NASA veteran astronaut Mark Vande Hei will be joining two Russian cosmonauts aboard a Soyuz spacecraft for the upcoming ISS mission, set for an April 9 launch.
The Soyuz space vehicle has been used for travel to and fro the Internation Space Station for decades. Compared to other space vehicles, it is considered as the safest. How can this vehicle transport a group of humans safely from space to the Earth and vice versa?
Russian spacecraft named Soyuz MS-02 created another history. Three astronauts from Expedition 50 mission of International Space Station are now back to the home after 173days of the space journey.
Russia is trying to determine what it is going to do after losing contact with the unmanned cargo craft on route to the International Space Station for a resupply mission. Currently the craft is spinning out of control, NASA said.
