SUMMARY:SOYUZ MS-11 LAUNCH AND DOCKING\, Dec 3\, 2018\, Kazakhstan\, Launch: 6:31 am ET (NASA TV begins 5:30 am ET)\, Dock 12:36 pm ET (NASA TV begins 11:45 am ET)
DESCRIPTION:The next crew will launch to the International Space Station (ISS) on Soyuz MS-11 on December 3\, 2018 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 6:31 am ET (5:31 pm local time at the launch site). \nNASA TV and NASA Live will air the launch beginning at 5:30 am ET.  Russia’s space agency Roscosmos also often provides live coverage on its website: roscosmos.ru \nThis will be the first crew launch since the October 11\, 2018 Soyuz MS-10 failure.  In that case\, the launch was aborted about 2 minutes after liftoff when one of the four strap-on boosters did not separate from the core stage correctly.  It hit the core stage\, which was catastrophic for the rocket\, but automated systems instantly separated the crew capsule\, carrying a Russian cosmonaut and an American astronaut\, from the  rocket and they landed safely. \nThe Soyuz MS-11 crew was originally supposed to launch on December 20\, but because the MS-10 crew did not get to ISS\, and Russia believes it has found and corrected the problem\, it moved up the date for the MS-11 crew.  The three crew members are: \n\nOleg Kononenko (Roscosmos)\nAnne McClain (NASA)\nDavid Saint-Jacques (Canadian Space Agency)\n\nThey will use the four-orbit (approximately 6-hour) rendezvous trajectory to ISS\, docking at 12:36 pm ET (NASA coverage begins at 11:45 am ET on the NASA TV media channel).  Hatch opening is scheduled for 2:35 pm ET (NASA TV coverage begins 1:45 pm ET). \nIn summary: \nLaunch 6:31 am ET (NASA coverage begins 5:30 am ET) \nDocking 12:36 pm ET (NASA coverage begins 11:45 am ET on the media channel) \nHatch opening 2:35 pm ET (NASA coverage begins 1:45 pm ET) \n  \nNote: the docking time has been refined by 1 minute.  It is at 12:36 instead of 12:35 pm ET.
