It is launch aboard a rocket which is called the Soyuz Rocket. It’s launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. The rocket is assembled horizontally, then transported by rail, and then lifted up to the launch pad. The support trusses hold the rocket in place and the umbilical tower provides fuel and electricity. Parts of the rocket include 3 stages, the launch shroud, and then at the top is the Launch Escape Tower with the Stabilizing Grid Fins. For the launch, the crew members will wear Sokol Spacesuits. The commander is in the center and two Flight Engineers will be on either side. The Zero-G Indicator will float once they are in orbit - this only takes about 9 minutes. Rendezvous and Docking is how catch up with and attach to the International Space Station (ISS). Coming back to earth involves Undocking, De-orbit burn, Re-entry, and Touchdown on land. #b3d #soyuz #roscosmos
