Expedition 68: Soyuz Rocket Rolls to Launchpad | International Space Station
At the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, the Soyuz 2.1a rocket that will launch the Soyuz MS-22 crew to the International Space Station rolled out from its integration building to the launch pad for final preparations. While that took place, members of the Expedition 68 crew, Soyuz Commander Sergei Prokopyev (Roscosmos), Dmitri Petelin (Roscosmos), and Frank Rubio of NASA—along with their backups, Oleg Kononenko and Nikolai Chub of Roscosmos and Loral O’Hara of NASA—participated in final prelaunch training activities.
