Crew of Soyuz launch abort lifts off to space station on second try
Nick Hague's second launch to space went much better than his first.
The NASA astronaut joined his Soyuz MS-10 crewmate, cosmonaut Aleksey Ovchinin of Roscosmos, for a second attempt at reaching the International Space Station, five months after an in-flight abort cut their first launch together short.
This time, Hague, Ovchinin and NASA astronaut Christina Koch safely made it into Earth orbit on Russia's Soyuz MS-12 spacecraft. The three lifted off atop a Soyuz FG rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 3:14 p.m. EDT (2014 GMT or 12:14 a.m. on March 15 Kazakh time) to begin a six-hour rendezvous with the space station.
