ALMATY, Oct 14 — A Russian Soyuz spacecraft carrying a US astronaut and two Russian cosmonauts blasted off from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan today and successfully reached orbit, live footage broadcast by Russia's space agency Roscosmos showed. The US space agency in 2014 contracted Elon Musk’s SpaceX and Boeing Co to build competing space capsules in an effort to reclaim Nasa’s launch independence.
Nasa has purchased additional crew seats from Russia as its public-private crew program faced delays, with Rubins’ mission being the most recent.“We have an incredible partnership,” Rubins said in an interview from Russia’s Star City before her flight. “We’ll continue to train crews over here and we’re going to have cosmonauts come to the Johnson Space Center and train.”
