[b]Soyuz MS-02 launch reset for Oct. 19[/b] Roscosmos has reset the launch of Soyuz MS-02 to the International Space Station for Oct. 19 after verifying repairs to the spacecraft. "After reviewing the documents on operations that were carried out to repair the technical malfunction... the State Commission resolved that the space ship may be launched to the International Space Station," Russian federal space agency officials said in a statement. RSC Energia, the contractor that builds and assembles the Soyuz for Roscosmos, determined the issue to be control equipment that had been activated by a landing system cable that was jammed during a test. After the cable malfunction was fixed, engineers ran a full trial of the ship's systems. Based on the results of the trial, the State Commission scheduled the launch of Soyuz MS-02 for Oct. 19 at 3:05 a.m. CDT (0805 GMT).
