- A Soyuz-FG rocket launched the Soyuz MS-10 spacecraft with International Space Station Expedition 57-58 crew members, NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexey Ovchinin, from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, on 11 October 2018, at 08:40 UTC (14:40 local time). Due to a booster error, the spacecraft entered a ballistic descend and the crew landed in Kazakhstan.

SciNews Why did the animation keep going? With narrator still going?
@@marvinmartinsYT NASA used an old animation to illustrate the launch events.
Girl in background: failure failure.
Girl narrating: everything is fine.
Yeah, she meant everything is fine for the crew considering the booster engine failure. It could've been much worse.
Hahahha
@@dash1dash2 i think she's just following the script
MasterMAT it’s Russia, there’re good at that stuff 🇷🇺
I'll bet she freakin listens next time!
The crew survived , period.
One of the safest rockets in Space history.
Love the Soyuz.
It became a safe ship after they lost an entire crew. Soyuz used went up with three cosmonauts that weren't able to wear their pressure suits he has a spacecraft was too small. There was a fire in a valve in equalisation valve and their blood boil before they got too the chutes opening.in the course of the redesigned they removed one seat in the capsule thus making it safe.
@@JohnRodriguesPhotographer He is talking about the rocket, you are making false statemens about the capsule. Soyuz-MS has 3 seats en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soyuz_MS You are thinking of a different capsule Soyuz 7K-OKS en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soyuz_11
Ariane has a better track record!
No matter your views on Russia, you have to admire how after the shuttles were retired, the Russians knew they could end every Western country’s human space flight program if they kept Soyuz to themselves. But they didn’t and chose to share Soyuz, which is impressive considering how absurdly ridiculous the idea of Russian cosmonauts and western astronauts flying together was just a few decades ago.
@@sportsfails4998 Of course they're charging the US $75 million a seat. I'd probably share a ride with my rival too for that price.
Moscow, we have a problemski
:D
😂
Underrated comment haha!
Moscow we’re fucksky!
LOLLLLLL
I love how the animation of the flight does not reflect at all what is actually happening.
Even the telemetry is canned :(
Yeah seriously... really would like to see the abort and landing at the backup site
It's sad that they don't have cameras like SpaceX and others do
With everything going on, they probably didn't have time to shut off the animation.
@@Sammy197 I don't think the guy that operates the animation does anything else. The narrator just didn't pay attention when it happened.
Congratulations on the first manned rocket flight direct to Kazakhstan!
It wasn't the first one.
At least one other rocket (Soyuz T-10-1) decided it would be nice staying in Kazakhstan.
400 kilometers in a few minutes. How do you like that, Elon Musk?
@@MPHammer ayyy
It was not a direct flight Soyuz triggered self destruct and the faring pulled them away just as it blew up. In the event the rocket blows up the crew need to make an emergency landing and their backups must prepare for immediate launch. This is the second time Soyuz had a launch abort the first time Vladimir Titov and Gennadi Strekalov lifted off in Soyuz 7K and the rocket blew up on the same pad that Soyuz MS 10 just launched from. Titov pulled the abort handle and as designed the escape tower fired and they landed 30 miles away in Drezkadan.
Pretty certain they didn't see 18Gs as that would likely be deadly. Reports are saying somewhere between 7 and 10 Gs. Published data for the ballistic reentry says it would be somewhere above 8Gs.
Just thought I’d mention that Alexei Ovchinin’s first words after emerging from the Soyuz capsule after this failure were as he turned to Nick Hague “Well, that was a short trip”.
As much as this sucks for the mission, it’s still a major success in my book. Everyone returned safely and everything performed roughly as it should, given the contingency. The rules of aviation/space travel are written in blood and we’ve learned many tragic lessons throughout the decades. It’s good to see that all of that sacrifice is starting to pay off for the next generation of astronauts/cosmonauts/etc.

It's very rare to see Soyuz fail.
Glad cosmonauts are safe.
Soyuz didn't fail, it done it's job as designed, saved crew from rocket fail.
Yup! Happy End.
There was also one astronaut on the flight
It sure as hell fixed a bad situation. Glad everyone's okay. Russians make a badass rocket.
"Very rare"
Nobody:
Spacex: launches astronauts
CZcams: lets recommend failure of russian rocket
The flight was a succeess actually.
@@wildfox1562 ????
@@wildfox1562 In what world?
Lol true
Why'd you format this as a meme? It's not even close to funny
Rockets fail, they by their nature are dangerous machines, nice to see the Russians built a great back up escape feature, and it work to thank God, two brave men returned to earth safely
Thank to god? No, thank to the engineers who designed that
Soyuz has the best service record, no one has ever built a manned spacecraft that so good stats.
Exactly, thanks God.
Thanks Igor.
@@SparrowNoblePoland Rocket's by their design are highly volatile machines, Soyuz is no different than the Saturn V, or the rockets that put the US space shuttle into orbit, anything can go wrong, it just take on oh-shit by a technician and it turns into a giant fire works display.
One of the few times a failure was a great success. To have this catastrophic failure and not have loss of crew is absolutely outstanding and is a testament to the Russian's steadfast commitment their tried and true launch system.
why is every comment except mine deleted? is anybody else seeing this?
@@popwarner8029 uh a few things.
1: How does that relate to any of the comments being deleted?
2: HOW DUMB ARE YOU? How is a SPACE PLANE that has a REALLY SMALL hybrid rocket motor NOT reaching space (unless you live in the US) mean spaceflight is impossible?!? Do you even know what a rocket is or is the entirety of your space knowledge Branson's plane? Because what rockets do is instead of using wings they use these things called rocket engines that use a mix of liquid oxygen and a liquid fuel (hydrogen, methane, RP1, etc.) which using newtons 3rd law can propel themselves on the ground, 52 miles up, and in a vacuum. And yes, newtons 3rd law still works in a vacuum. Before you say it doesn't, look at the dozens of videos of people who light a solid rocket motor in a vacuum chamber and then it moves. Not as much as in air but that's because it wasn't designed to be fired in a vacuum. That's why their are sea-level engines and vacuum engines, for efficiency!
@@BPS298 Good Answer Mr Peanut. Ignore the idiots, they stew in a pot of misinformation while the rest of us get excited about new space missions. Did you see Starship stacking? My word that is going to be epic.
in 1983 one exploded but the crew still escaped
Yeah that's what i'm seeing the headline is here. Seems the forces involved there must be a tiny margin for error and it's remarkable when a mission goes 100%. We're trying to go into frickin space for cryin out loud. I'm surprised these things don't blow up every other time. Expensive as hell tho. These missions maybe will make space travel in the future closer to routine.
So sorry to hear about the failure, but glad the systems in place worked as designed. The Soyuz has a very awesome track record, glad to see the safety mechanisms worked as designed!
Good to hear the escape system worked and the crew are OK.
They didn't use the escape tower, they got to second stage ignition and then aborted to a descent
They didn't use the escape system. They had already jettisoned the escape tower.
The tower is just *one component* of the emergency escape system. The system continues to function all the way to orbit, using different sets of engines on the fairing and the ship itself.
You literally can watch as they jettison the escape tower. They did not use this to abort.
You are correct, the tower was jettisoned and was not involved in this abort scenario.
But the tower is not the emergency escape system. it is only one set of the emergency escape system engines which are used for abort in the earliest stages of the flight and on the ground. There are also engines on the ship and on the fairing. Depending on the phase of flight, emergency escape system operates by different means. But it continues to function all the way to the orbit.
I have to take my hat off to Russian engineering! Two men are alive today because of it 🇺🇸 🇷🇺
I think there's more than 2 people alive today

Hence why they beat them... You must be fun at parties.

Did you read the comment first?
Soyuz has been operating for over 20+ years......Falcon 9 barely ten and they land the entire first stage.......2019....Falcon 9 has crew dragon. Two separate rockets on complete separate timelines. You can’t compare.
Russia : "Failure of the booster. Emergency separation"
NASA : "Everything is going well. Soyuz is on its way to space"
Well... Journalists reading their scripts.
hehehe true
Marcolepsie yeeee yeeeeshhh 😯
Would that be classified as fake news on the NASA side. Lol
The Video Graphics show the flight as normal and the NASA lady is reading the script provided.
If ISRO help soyuz then it can better performs because ISRO is 100% master in rocket tech.
Glad they are safe.
Fastest way to kazakhstan I guess
yowww i haven't seen your post in a while
Borat would love that, remember how long it took to cross America?
Lol.. Yes..
I live in Kazakhstan
Most expensive way for sure.
The NASA lady doing the audio was reading from her script without paying any attention to what the Russian lady was reporting real time. Once again, JSC at their finest...
I'm sure there are strict PR rules that constrain the "NASA lady". If anything appears to go wrong, predetermined rules come into effect. Some "suits" decide what the public gets to hear.
"One minute fifteen seconds. Velocity 2900 feet per second, altitude 9 nautical miles, downrange distance 7 nautical miles..." -- PAO @ STS-51-L two seconds after the orbiter exploded. These people don't get the same data feed we do, they can only talk about what they actually have in front of them. And they try hard not to be distracted.
@@DevSolar how many G's would 2 guys experience when strapped to a heavy lift rocket - 60 seconds into escape of Earths atmosphere.......?
@Bob Loblaw, Roadside Lawyer She said the escape tower *jettisoned* - a normal part of the launch sequence.
@@k311ydcart3r You don't know what you're talking about. This is the fundamental difference between NASA and Soviet/Russian programs. NASA always has provided a live launch feed and a live feed of air-to-ground radio. The Soviets and Russians do not. Every time there's a launch or a spacewalk or a major ISS activity, NASA TV will show it live. NASA makes it a point to always be open with their activities to gain the support of Congress and the American public.
So, can we conclude that the animation that is supposed to be based on real telemetry from the rocket, is in fact not based on real telemetry? Since the animation shows speed and altitude and plot-curves all normal?
Yup, it's fake news.
That was just comical...
Well, this is awkward..
It would be fine if the animation was pretenders, but the flight telemetry data was accurate. But if telemetry is just nominal, then that’s really weird.
It shows what is supposed to go for viewers to see something since they dont have cameras on it like spacex. Thats why the animation didnt have the error bec it was made ahead of time
Amazing. As citizens from the US and citizens from Russia, we may have disagreements along the lines of our respected Federal governments. However, we cannot deny that we share a history of innovation and creativity when it comes to science and engineering. Cheers!
The only people that do not make mistakes are the people that do not do things.
It’s unfortunate the rocket launch did not go well but great job on the launch recovery system.
It is the first failed launch that I’ve seen where the people we’re alive afterwards.
Greg Walker imagine now that the escape system was designed 40 years ago and never used mid air.
Neoptolemus
nothing about Rockets are particularly safe.
I would have no problem trusting a System designed 40 years ago that just shows that it was designed well.
if you’ve ever flown in airplane you trusting system designed at least 40 years ago with the exceptions of engines commercial airliners have changed very little.
Where can we see them alive?
Google.
Duhya google what? I said that I’ve seen I grew up during the Space shuttle and those did not go well when they failed
Was the Russian girl saying booster failure as the NASA girl was saying every things normal?
The Russian girl were translating the conversation of Russian MCC team. The NASA girl were reading the prepared text. Moreover, the animation of rocket flight was also prepared and lost any touch with reality since 3:53-3:55 (the moment of emergency separation).
Time delay..
That moment at 3:53 I thought, "that doesn't look good...at all...and don't tell me that is what it looks like when the escape tower is jettisoned."
It makes sense since its pretty normal in NASA to have failures during space flights :D it is just a joke. I respect all people in NASA.
@@hhale The escape tower was indeed jettisoned. What saved the crew was the second launch abort system which was built into the protective shell.
About 800 starts, 2 failures, a Russian official said.

🙌🏾😌😌🤦🏾♀️
I almost can’t finish watching this if I don’t know the crew is actually safe in the first place. Deep respect to all astronauts and scientists.
It was great luck that the russian engineers decided to put a second launch escape system on the capsule. The failure occured, right after the first launch escape system had been jettisoned
The calmness of the crew is outstanding.
Sad for the launch failure, glad for the safety of cosmonauts. At least we know the escape system works well
Nobody can escape he that comes from god but go ahead and mourn the failure of men's hands
So, is it true that they accidentely put Vodka in the fuel tank?
I dontknow amen, very good engineering, nice
WAUW I thought that when something would go wrong, the astronauts are dead. Amazing that there even are emergency "back to earth" possibities. And as the men are alrright, they have worked perfect. Amazing as the height and speed were really high already. Amazing outcome. Real great work by the designers and crators of this rocket system. My respect.
I have not seen them returned to earth and stepping out of a capsule. Has anyone?
@@erepsekahs I think it would be not only difficult to accurately judge where the capsule might land, but also dangerous to be in the potential drop zone. Idk if anyone has literally seen a capsule drop in and cosmo/astronauts step out but then again it's not exactly something that happens very often. All that matter really is that it worked and they were safe.

It's kind of funny to see people bashing the Soyuz. Who designed their system so people can be safely recovered, versus who designed their system so people die (and have died)? This is actually very impressive.
you really are naive....they were never on board....and neither were ours....they are all alive and well
@@truthfilterforyoutube8218 And you know this how?
People have died on Soyuz, but, like us, they fixed the problem and went back up.
@@howardsmith9342 People may have died in Soyuz spacecraft but no one has died during launch. Soyuz has always had an emergency escape system, in fact it has more than one. The Space Shuttle did not so, no, the Americans did not fix the problem - identified after Challenger explosion - and lost another crew on Columbia (for admittedly different reasons). If I were going into space right now the only rocket I would want under me is Soyuz.
@@thethirdman225 You are correct in that nobody has died during liftoff. In fact, the effectiveness of that escape system was proven recently. But people have died during reentry, and that is just as important as launch. Soyuz has been in service for a long time, and has proved itself.
I'm happy they're okay! Im just a regular person in awe of their efforts, and grateful for this channel. I wish I could get those guys a sammich and coffee, that's a rough work day. Wish I had that kind of composure, too.

They just wanted to go to Kazachstan
Who needs Musk's BFR's city to city tranport when you have soyuz doing that already? ^^
Is KazaCHstan part of Switzerland?
The correct intl. spelling is Kazakhstan, however, linguistically that's not matching the language. It should be Qazaqstan, according to national spelling Қазақстан, not Казахстан.

Hi ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) They STARTED from Kazakhstan, as Baikonour IS IN KAZAKHSTAN (I have been there 3 years ago).
Kazakhstan was part of the former USSR (or Soviet Union or whatever you call it). It is the only Russian base outside of Russia. They invested so much in it, they were not going to build another launch-base on Russian ground.
Hello
When you’re still learning to play KSP trying to reach a complete orbit
O was getting worried for a second, that we lost some of our best.
I am really glad everybody is safe!
Credit where credits due, well done having a system robust enough to safely land the crew after a launch malfunction.
After the accident, the crew behaves calmly and continues to work as if the rocket is flying normally. This is the confirmation that the preparation is going well ..
Glad they're safe.
Booster fail at 2:45 into the flight closely followed by the Soyuz (radio) recovery beacon sending AN in Morse code. Glad the recovery system worked as it should and the crew walked away. Go Soyuz!

For people saying BS about Soyuz, it's still holds record for safe crew flights. Boosters have probability of failure by 40% besides crew os safe, so all wasn't a failure unlike challenger. Besides you can do little with peanut size budget this rocket has already surpassed engine meeting challenges than NASA's massive budget.
Soyuz MS-10 abort explained czcams.com/video/BCJe694E1zA/video.html
The USA and NASA is garbage, right comrade?
The USSR/Russia has had its share of emergencies, too. Look up the Soyuz 18a/Soyuz 18-1 incident in 1975. Makarov and Lazarev had a very harrowing escape, and Lazarev suffered serious internal injuries that prevented him from flying again (and may have also shortened his life). Also look at the high-G reentry where the Soyuz failed to cleanly separate from the Service Module/PAO, the first of which happened to Soyuz 5 and later both Soyuz TMA-10 and TMA-11. Let's not forget Soyuz 1 and Soyuz 10, either. Space flight is highly unforgiving of the slightest error, no matter what nation is launching.
Shows that emergency procedures and equipment can safely return crew to earth in the event of an aborted launch. Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexey Ovchinin and NASA astronaut Nick Hague have landed safely.

That's resilient design. They survived! Thank's for the video.
Amazing - maybe not an example of enabling the launch escape system, that was still an engineering success - I read those ballistic re-entries can go up to 9G. A Testament to the engineers who designed it for it to return safely

@@mikhailalexandrovichrimsky5501 we didn't ask for a Russian troll but ok...
They'll get free accomodation, food vouchers and discount on their next flight. Thank you for flying Soyuz
Good job on the escape system, thank god!
Except the LES was apparently not used on this occasion.
This is a common misconception. The spire on the top of the rocket is the solid fuel engines for the flight abort system, and they are jettisoned relatively early in the flight (here it happened before the malfunction became apparent.) But the flight abort system is a much more comprehensive thing than just this engine unit -- it monitors the flight and uses different sets of hardware on the payload fairing and on the ship itself to save the crew in the event of booster malfunction throughout the flight.
They escaped doom, thank god....better?
I thank good engineering. God is unreliable.
Thank the engineers!
This is amazing! The fact that the escape tower was already jettisoned. There was an extra backup emergency system in place to create a ballistics trajectory for the crew's capsule to safely return. Both of the Astronauts/Comosnauts survived and unscathed. It's one of the safest and best rockets ever built. 😁🚀
Ovchinin opened the door for Skvortsov, Morgan and Parmitano just minutes ago in the ISS, In the Soyuz MS-13 !!
Astronauts are so brave people !!
Very glad all systems for escape worked. This is still a job well done in My eyes , it's very rare for this to happen these days.

Even with the failure, the crew still landed safely back to earth. It shows how fantastic they build the beast.

dangerous every time. glad the crew made it back safe.
Where can i see the full stream without that lady's narration? I wanna hear the technical communication better.
Congratulations on safe return of crew! Rocket science is complicated and accidents do happen but most important is that crew was safely returned!
Scary. Glad they are well and safe.
We witnessed a miracle today. Congratulations on a flawless recovery operation. Bummer about losing the mission and the down time for the investigation(s).
Amazing. While the English-speaking Russian commentator is clearly describing a genuine flight emergency, the NASA commentator keeps calling out pre-scripted ascent updates. Then FINALLY at 8:12 -- after a protracted silence -- the NASA commentator chimes in with a walk-in-the-park no-big-deal reaction about an 'issue' with the booster. There is no reason to expect an overreaction -- but at least ditch the auto-pilot mode and narrate in a way that resembles a noticeable measure of concern.
They are obviously not hearing each other, and are possibly even on different continents.
The NASA announcer simply commented on what was already shown on the screen -- the info-graphics prepared in advance, that was showing what was *supposed* to happen in a nominal launch.
The Russian announcer was translating the communications between the ship and the ground in real time.
European Space Agency also uses pre-prepared graphics. When the telemetry was lost in on of the flights earlier this year, they kept showing the altitude and velocity that were *supposed* to occur at a particular time, without knowing what was really happening.
My complaint is mostly about your point -- about listening to a script-reader with no sense of what is happening in real time. If *we* could hear the Russians -- why was the NASA narrator entirely unaware? The technical reason is obvious -- she was not hooked in. Why this happens makes no sense at all. Why have a narrator who is the last person on Earth to notice what is happening?
I agree that it was underwhelming and one could expect NASA to be able to do better. But apparently they can't. It seems like a simple thing to do, but in reality it is probably not so simple.
Here we have a lady with a nice voice, probably sitting in a sound-booth somewhere in Houston, reading a simple, clear, vetted in advance script. To do better, one would need to find somebody actually quite knowledgeable about the launch process and the vehicle, who has time to do the commentary besides fulfilling whatever their main duty is, plus having the ability to do that in an engaging impromptu manner, plus (a huge hassle in practice!) having the OK from a bunch of managers who oversee these kinds of things.
Look at the interviews Elon Musk gives. The guy is brilliant and really knows his stuff, but he is often painful to listen to, just because he does not have a talent for public speaking. SpaceX engineers chosen to do a running commentary for their launch webcasts are usually much better, but even they regularly say things that make no sense at all, just because it is really hard to do a coherent real time commentary.
All true. Thanks for letting me vent.
1,700 people were disappointed no one died.
The commentator in front : *expectation*
The commentator in the background : *reality*

Hashtag metoo within the first 20 seconds of the video. I'm glad these two made it out alive, it's easy to see why they consider rockets safer than the old space shuttle when it comes down to emergency landing. Could you imagine being Nick Hague on your first trip to space and then this happens... I think I would retire after that launch.

They did' t demonstrate any emotions in very frightening situation when every next second may be the last one because the missle can demolish space aroun it to atoms. But we can't hear something like "WTF....". Nothing else than very calm messages.
You know the old saying: Any landing you can walk away from is a GOOD landing.
Failure can happen at any time. The best part is the support infrastructure of recovery and safety. The more the optional choice of recovery the better.
Booster failure. Crew landed in Kazakhstan.
See 4 minutes
Apparently at an altitude of 45 kilometers... Emergency descent successful... Landed east of the Kazakh town of Dzhezkazgan... crew fine!
The crew is not hurt
While at it, they could unintentionally have broken the Guinness record for fastest intercity travel.
Man's survive, that's impotant than crashed rocket!
Best thing crew is saved. Failure means more concentrations.
Basically the same rocket over some sixty years, and it almost never failing, with those four boosters coming off so neatly at a crucial moment. Talk about effective design. Apparently, there was a time when people could conjure up simplicity and effectiveness at once, on boths sides of the Pacific Ocean. One must concede that those people knew how to think. The Russian guy commanding the ship sounds so calm. He does not seem to loose his composure at all, and cleary knows how to handle the situation. True, he underwent a lot of training, but then again, how many people in a hundred thousand would be able to make it through it? Not me, for sure. Kudos.
It is not really the same rocket as it was sixty years ago tho, cuz Soyuz was modified many times since 70's.
