Timelapse of the Russian Progress MS-10 cargo spacecraft launch, taken by ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst from the International Space Station.

The images were taken from the European-built Cupola module with a camera set to take pictures at regular intervals. The pictures are then played quickly after each other at 8 to 16 times normal speed. The video shows around 15 minutes of the launch at normal speed.

Some notable moments in this video are:

• 00:07 Soyuz-FG rocket booster separation.
  
• 00:19 Core stage separation.
  
• 00:34:05 Core stage starts burning in the atmosphere as it returns to Earth after having spent all its fuel.
  
• 00:34:19 Progress spacecraft separates from rocket and enters orbit to catch up with the International Space Station.
