The Russian Progress MS-10 resupply vehicle for the International Space Station launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on a mission to return the Soyuz-FG rocket variant to flight and resume Russian launches to the Station on Friday. The Soyuz-FG is the same rocket variant that suffered an in-flight failure during the crewed Soyuz MS-10 launch last month.
Liftoff occurred on Friday, 16 November at 13:14:08 EST (1814:08 UTC) – which was 00:14:08 local time on Saturday, 17 November at Baikonur. Docking followed on Sunday at around 18:30 UTC following a two day trip to the orbital outpost.
