Horizons mission - Soyuz: launch to orbit

  • This unique video shows a full launch of the Soyuz MS-09: from liftoff to orbit.
    Watch the launch from inside the crew capsule with first-ever shots from outside the spacecraft recorded by cameras fixed to the exterior of the Soyuz.
    The intense launch lasts less than ten minutes whereby the Soyuz spacecraft is propelled 1640 km and gains 210 km altitude. Every second for nine minutes, the spacecraft accelerates 50 km/h on average as the rocket’s boosters burn their fuel and are discarded.
    See the astronaut’s reactions and what the spacecraft looks like as the main steps are carried out to get into orbit:
    -00:12 Launch command issued
    -00:10 Engine turbopumps at flight speed
    -00:05 Engines at maximum thrust
    00:00 Launch
    +1:54 Separation of emergency rescue system
    +1:57 First stage separation
    +2:38 Fairing separation
    +4:48 Second stage separation
    +4:58 Tail adapter separation
    +8:45 Third stage engine cut off having arrived in orbit
    +8:49 Soyuz separation, deploy solar arrays and antennae
    The astronauts, from left to right, are NASA astronaut Serena Auñón-Chancellor, Roscosmos commander Sergei Prokopyev and ESA astronaut and flight engineer Alexander Gerst launched in the Soyuz MS-09 spacecraft from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan to the International Space Station on 6 June 2018. ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer and ESA television host Richard Hollingham provide commentary taken from the live event.
    Hunched in their Sokol flight suits that offer protection in case of fire or depressurisation, the trio stay in the crew capsule of the Soyuz - the only module that is also designed to survive a return to Earth. The bags above their heads contain supplies for the International Space Station as every bit of space is used.
    During a Soyuz launch astronauts typically experience forces of up to 4g - having to work while being pressed into their seats with a force that is four times more than the gravity felt on Earth. The Soyuz commander uses a stick to press buttons as they are too far away from the control panel.
    The fluffy toys above the astronauts’ heads are mascots and good luck charms but also serve as a simple but effective test to see when the spacecraft is in orbit: when they start to float the spacecraft is weightless and orbiting Earth. Above Sergei is the mascot for the 2018 FIFA soccer World Cup held in Russia. Alexander took German children television icon “Die Maus” with him.
    The launch went as planned as the 50-m tall Soyuz rocket propelled the astronauts to their cruising speed of around 28 800 km/h.
    For this launch the astronauts took 34 orbits of Earth over two days to arrive at their destination spending their time in the cramped orbital module of the Soyuz that is no larger than a car. With limited communications and living space the astronauts had time to adapt to weightlessness and reflect on their mission ahead. They aligned their spacecraft with the International Space Station and approached the orbital outpost for docking on 8 June 2018. The files for this video were downloaded by the astronauts after arriving at the Space Station.
    Alexander is a returning visitor to the International Space Station, the first of ESA’s 2009 class of astronauts to be sent into space for a second time. During the second part of his mission Alexander will take over as commander of the International Space Station, only the second time an ESA astronaut will take on this role so far.

      @@anugrahekka7034 This actually isn't true :) . When they're in orbit, the effects of gravity are actually nearly the same as what we feel here on the ground (92%). What you're actually referring to are the g-forces. Here on the ground, we consistently feel 1 g. Free-fall is 0 g. In essence, orbit is a free-fall around the Earth, so the astronauts feel 0 g while they're in orbit. That's why they experience weightlessness.

      Because the design of Soyuz is different from what you're imagining. Soyuz crew are inside the module during launch.. they're in closed space compartment.. The module or the cockpit is very intact inside the rocket itself.
      While the NASA space shuttle is separately attached on a gas tank outside with two rocket boosters that's why the shaking and vibration is much worse during launch.

      Much of that Cold War era technology is still impressive today, an American example would be the retired SR-71.
      It wasn't all success for the Soviets though. Keep in mind the Soyuz, an unbelievably reliable machine and a relic of a bygone era, was preceded by the N1 rocket which was a massive money sink that never completed a successful test because of catastrophic failures.

    Few words about The Stick. Upon landing all seats automatically switches in another position and central seat becomes closer to buttons - not for comfortable clicking, but for more safer landing. In other stages that position (closer to buttons) not optimal for crew. From 70's such design still works pretty well.

    Man, this looks more fun than those nice looking commercial spacecraft. This is like going on a military plane.
    Also, I have to appreciate the simple stick used by the Russian cosmonauts - frugal and practical. As an Indian, I love this jugad solution.

      Russian voice is saying routine things flight control center usually says during launch. Charlie Hobaugh's voice was very calm even in the most tragic seconds of the space shuttle Columbia 107 re-entry in 2003.

    The space vehicle with the safest record. Looks old school, but as long as it transports humans back and forth safety, it's good to go. Space Shuttle was superb, but very risky and no Plan B if a fire broke out. The new Falcon is good too, looks safe for people.

    I’m a noob when it comes to space/astronomy in general. I just recently got into it after completing an astronomy course in school. When i learned about the Columbia and Challenger incidents my heart stopped. I was taken aback when I learned about those horrific tragedies. . To think about the suffering those astronauts experienced along with their families breaks my heart. 😰 Makes me feel happy to see these guys make it up there safely as it’s definitely not an easy, and not always safe task ❤️

    Last week I saw the ISS for the first time in an _unplanned_ viewing. I've gone out to see it a few times when I knew it was going to be going past, but this was the first time I'd seen it by chance, zipping past the Moon and Jupiter. It was brighter than I've ever seen it, which made me rush to a tracker just to make sure it was actually the station passing overhead. I still get excited by seeing these things.
