On Saturday, a Russian Soyuz rocket successfully launched three astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS), overcoming a setback that had led to the last-minute abort of its previous launch two days prior. NASA astronaut Tracy Dyson, Russian cosmonaut Oleg Novitsky, and Marina Vasilevskaya of Belarus embarked on their journey from the Russian-leased Baikonur launch facility in Kazakhstan, marking a smooth and triumphant lift-off.

00:00 On Saturday, a Russian Soyuz rocket successfully launched three astronauts to the International
00:07 Space Station, overcoming a setback that had led to the last-minute abort of its previous
00:11 launch two days prior.
00:13 NASA astronaut Tracy Dyson, Russian cosmonaut Oleg Novitskiy and Marina Vasilevskaya of
00:21 Belarus embarked on their journey from the Russian-based Baikonur launch facility in
00:26 Kazakhstan, marking a smooth and triumphant liftoff.
00:30 Eight minutes after the launch, the space capsule atop the rocket successfully separated
00:35 and entered orbit.
00:36 Commencing a two-day, 34-orbit journey to the space station, the spacecraft began its
00:41 voyage towards its celestial destination.
00:44 Upon arrival, the three astronauts will join the existing crew aboard the space station,
00:48 consisting of NASA astronauts Loral Ohara, Matthew Dominic, Mike Barad and Janet Epps,
00:54 alongside Russian cosmonauts Oleg Kononenko, Nikolai Chubb and Alexander Grebenkin.
01:01 Scheduled for return to Earth on April 6, Oleg Novitskiy, Marina Vasilevskaya and Loral
01:06 Ohara are poised to conclude their mission and reunite with gravity-bound life after
01:11 their stay in space.
01:13 Amid escalating tensions following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the International
01:17 Space Station stands as a beacon of post-Cold War international cooperation.
01:21 In a world marred by geopolitical strife, the ISS remains one of the few remaining bastions
01:26 of collaboration between Russia and the West.
01:30 NASA and its partners remain steadfast in their commitment to operating the orbiting
01:34 outpost until at least 2030, underscoring the enduring importance of scientific exploration
01:40 and cooperation beyond terrestrial conflicts.
01:43 Russia continues to rely on modified versions of Soviet-designed rockets for various space
01:48 missions, including launching commercial satellites and ferrying crews and cargo to the ISS.
01:53 The launch had been planned for Thursday but was halted by an automatic safety system about
01:58 20 seconds before the scheduled liftoff.
02:01 The head of the Russian space agency, Yuri Borisov, said a voltage drop in a power source
02:06 triggered the launch to be aborted.
