On Baikonur, the assembly of the last Soyuz-FG launch vehicle was completed, which is due to launch on September 25 into orbit with the Soyuz MS-15 manned spacecraft with astronauts on board. This was reported by the press service of Roscosmos.
According to the state corporation, in the installation and test building of the cosmodrome the installation of the propulsion system of the emergency rescue system to the space head of the launch vehicle was completed, and work was also done on its docking with the third stage. At the final stage, a complete docking of all stages of the launch vehicle was carried out.
The Russian Space Agency said that the launch of the Soyuz-FG launch vehicle is scheduled for Wednesday. The rocket should put into orbit the Soyuz MS-15 manned spacecraft with the crew on board, which will include Russian Oleg Skrypochka, American Jessica Meir and the first cosmonaut of the United Arab Emirates, Khazza al-Mansouri.
The planned launch will be 70 and the last one for the Soyuz-FG launch vehicle with Ukrainian analog control, then all manned launches will be carried out on Soyuz-2.1 launch vehicles with a Russian-made digital control system.
It should be noted that Soyuz-FG launch vehicles are among the most reliable. During 18 years of operation, only one launch was unsuccessful when in October last year an accident occurred due to a malfunction of the first stage. Then the emergency rescue system worked and the crew survived.
