Russia’s Soyuz-2.1a carrier rocket and Soyuz MS-17 spacecraft have been rolled out to their Baikonur launch pad ahead of a flight to the International Space Station (ISS), Roscosmos said Sunday.
The flight is scheduled for Wednesday and set to break speed records by delivering the three-member crew in just three hours and seven minutes, whereas such flights earlier used to take anywhere between six hours and two days.
"The Soyuz-2.1a launch vehicle with the # SoyuzMS17 spacecraft was rolled out to the launch site," Roscosmos said in a tweet.
