Watch NASA Discuss Today's Astronaut Launch Failure at Noon ET




NASA will hold a press conference today at noon EDT (1600 GMT) to discuss the failure of today's astronaut launch (October 11) to the international space station.

		The take-off took place without problems at approximately 4:47 a.m. EDT (0847 GMT), but a few minutes later, the rocket experienced a serious anomaly in which the impeller did not separate. The capsule of the Soyuz crew and the two crew members inside, NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Russian cosmonaut Aleksey Ovchinin, plummeted to Earth in a ballistic reentry but landed in good condition.

		NASA and its Russian counterpart, Roscosmos, confirmed that there will be an investigation into what went wrong during the launch. NASA said earlier that it did not expect Roscosmos to hold a press conference today.

		NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine is at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, where he was present to watch the launch and meet with his Russian counterpart Dmitry Rogozin. The meeting, the first person in person for the two leaders, came amid an ongoing investigation into the small air leak in a Soyuz capsule attached to the space station, which posed no threat to astronauts and has since been repaired.
