Soyuz rocket launch failure with an astronaut on board caught on video
A Russian Soyuz rocket carrying two people failed mid-flight on October 12.
The crew — Nick Hague, a NASA astronaut, and Alexey Ovchinin, a Russian cosmonaut — had their space capsule ejected from the rocket and survived without injury.
Roscosmos, Russia’s space agency, posted a video of the botched launch on Twitter on Thursday.
Roscosmos has said that a faulty sensor caused the failure and that it believes Soyuz rockets will resume launching in December, when a three-person crew at the International Space Station must return to Earth.
