[b]Soyuz MS-10 spacecraft, crew poised for launch[/b] Soyuz MS-10 commander Aleksey Ovchinin of Roscosmos and flight engineer Nick Hague of NASA are set to launch to the International Space Station on Thursday (Oct. 11) at 3:40 a.m. CDT (2040 GMT or 2:40 p.m. local) from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. They will dock the Soyuz to the space station's Poisk module at 9:44 a.m. CDT (1444 GMT) the same day, after a four-orbit, six-hour rendezvous. About two hours later, the hatches between the Soyuz and the space station will open and Ovchinin and Hague will be greeted by Expedition 57 commander Alexander Gerst of the European Space Agency (ESA) and Serena Auñón-Chancellor of NASA and Sergey Prokopyev of Roscosmos, both flight engineers. Ovchinin and Hague will stay on the station through March 2019. On Tuesday (Oct. 9), the Soyuz-FG rocket topped with the Soyuz MS-10 spacecraft was rolled out to the pad by train and erected into position.
