Russia’s Roscosmos space corporation and NASA said the crew was safe, and Roscosmos chief Yuri Borisov said the next launch attempt is set for Saturday.\nBorisov told reporters that experts quickly pinpointed the cause of the launch abort, saying it was triggered by a voltage drop in a power source\nThe space station, which has served as a symbol of post-Cold War international cooperation, is now one of the last remaining areas of\ncollaboration between Russia and the West\namid tensions over Moscow’s military action in Ukraine. NASA and its partners hope to continue operating the orbiting outpost until 2030.\nFor Dyson, it was to be her third trip to the orbital complex, where she was due to spend six months. Novitsky, who was to make his fourth flight to the orbiting outpost, and Vasilevskaya, on her first space mission as her country’s first astronaut, were set to return to Earth after spending 12 days in orbit.\n1 MIN READ\n6 MIN READ\nThe three astronauts were to join the station’s crew consisting of NASA astronauts Loral O’Hara, Matthew Dominick, Mike Barratt, and Jeanette Epps, as well as Roscosmos cosmonauts Oleg Kononenko, Nikolai Chub, and Alexander Grebenkin.\nRussia has continued to rely on modified versions of Soviet-designed rockets for commercial satellites, as well as crews and cargo to the space station.\nWhile the crew wasn’t in danger, Thursday’s aborted launch was a significant mishap for the Russian space program.\nIt followed an Octюber 2018\nlaunch failure\n, when a Soyuz rocket carrying NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Roscosmos’ Alexei Ovchinin to the International Space Station failed less two minutes after the blastoff, sending their rescue capsule into a steep ride back to a safe landing.\nHague and Ovchinin had a brief period of weightlessness when the capsule separated from the malfunctioning Soyuz rocket at an altitude of about 50 kilometers (31 miles), then endured gravitational forces of 6-7 times more than is felt on Earth as they came down at a sharper-than-normal angle. The 2018 launch failure was the first such accident for Russia’s manned program in over three decades.","attrs_markdown":"[Enable accessibility](https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/russia-launch-space-station-abort-22396cfd7552a5f5342731c265c42fb0)\n\n**0**\n\n[![AP Logo](https:\/\/assets.apnews.com\/19\/66\/bc546486408c8595f01753a9fbeb\/ap-logo-176-by-208.svg)](https:\/\/apnews.com\/)\n\nMenu\n\n- [World](https:\/\/apnews.com\/world-news)\n  \n  SECTIONS\n  \n  [Iran war](https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/iran) [Russia-Ukraine war](https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/russia-ukraine) [Español](https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/noticias) [China](https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/china) [Asia Pacific](https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/asia-pacific) [Latin America](https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/latin-america) [Europe](https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/europe) [Africa](https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/africa)\n  \n  TOP STORIES\n  \n  - [Hezbollah official says the group won't abide by any agreements from Lebanon-Israel talks in the US](https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/hezbollah-lebanon-israel-wafiq-safa-a7af20b76ace9a34d8f641bca91e0b23)\n  - [Canadian Prime Minister Carney secures a majority government with special election wins](https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/carney-canada-special-elections-trump-304cca23cd562e911002aa2c83f19fb2)\n  - [Magyar wants to take over as Hungary's prime minister as early as May 5](https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/hungary-election-orban-magyar-0d0cafc08176a001218837254bc0c2a4)\n  \n  Newsletters\n  \n  [The Morning Wire Our flagship newsletter breaks down the biggest headlines of the day.](https:\/\/apnews.com\/newsletters?id=Morning+Wire+Subscribers)\n  \n  [The Afternoon Wire Get caught up on what you may have missed throughout the day.](https:\/\/apnews.com\/newsletters?id=Afternoon+Wire)\n  \n  [See All Newsletters](https:\/\/apnews.com\/newsletters)\n- [U.S.](https:\/\/apnews.com\/us-news)\n  \n  SECTIONS\n  \n  [Immigration](https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/immigration) [Weather](https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/weather) [Education](https:\/\/apnews.com\/education) [Transportation](https:\/\/apnews.com\/us-news\/transportation) [Abortion](https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/abortion) [LGBTQ+](https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/lgbtq) [Notable Deaths](https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/obituaries)\n  \n  TOP STORIES\n  \n  - [Florida teen charged with sexually assaulting and killing stepsister Anna Kepner on cruise ship](https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/cruise-ship-florida-stepbrother-stepsister-375e51de4c35c1ec2069b24cd84de6a1)\n  - [Minnesota county investigating potential kidnapping and false imprisonment by federal officers](https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/minnesota-immigration-enforcement-crackdown-690091eeef2eb7f2bca1d8545bba9e83)\n  - [Trump administration agrees to return rainbow Pride flag to New York’s Stonewall monument](https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/stonewall-rainbow-flag-trump-lgbtq-historic-preservation-ac4ab59d3251476139700db6687828ca)\n  \n  Newsletters\n  \n  [The Morning Wire Our flagship newsletter breaks down the biggest headlines of the day.](https:\/\/apnews.com\/newsletters?id=Morning+Wire+Subscribers)\n  \n  [See All Newsletters](https:\/\/apnews.com\/newsletters)\n  \n  AP QUIZZES\n  \n  [Test Your News I.Q. — take today’s quiz](https:\/\/apnews.com\/quizzes)\n- [Politics](https:\/\/apnews.com\/politics)\n  \n  SECTIONS\n  \n  [2026 Elections](https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/elections) [Election Results](https:\/\/apnews.com\/projects\/elections-2026\/) [Election calendar](https:\/\/apnews.com\/projects\/elections-2026\/calendar\/) [White House](https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/donald-trump) [Congress](https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/congress) [Supreme Court](https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/us-supreme-court) [The latest AP-NORC polls](https:\/\/apnews.com\/projects\/polling-tracker\/) [Ground Game](https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/ground-game)\n  \n  TOP STORIES\n  \n  - [Trump tips DoorDash driver \\$100 for delivering McDonald's to Oval Office](https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-doordash-mcdonalds-tax-tips-iran-pope-cdec935afd68b86b264ed1b0de772e1d)\n  - [Rep.

Russia’s Roscosmos space corporation and NASA said the crew was safe, and Roscosmos chief Yuri Borisov said the next launch attempt is set for Saturday.\n\nBorisov told reporters that experts quickly pinpointed the cause of the launch abort, saying it was triggered by a voltage drop in a power source\n\nThe space station, which has served as a symbol of post-Cold War international cooperation, is now one of the last remaining areas of [collaboration between Russia and the West](https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/russia-ukraine-putin-science-241e789005f6375eeac3189acbdbc140) amid tensions over Moscow’s military action in Ukraine. NASA and its partners hope to continue operating the orbiting outpost until 2030.\n\nFor Dyson, it was to be her third trip to the orbital complex, where she was due to spend six months. Novitsky, who was to make his fourth flight to the orbiting outpost, and Vasilevskaya, on her first space mission as her country’s first astronaut, were set to return to Earth after spending 12 days in orbit.\n\nRelated Stories\n\n[![Photographers set up remote cameras near NASA's Artemis II moon rocket on Launch Pad 39-B just before sunrise at the Kennedy Space Center Tuesday, March 31, 2026, in Cape Canaveral, Fla.

Russia has continued to rely on modified versions of Soviet-designed rockets for commercial satellites, as well as crews and cargo to the space station. While the crew wasn’t in danger, Thursday’s aborted launch was a significant mishap for the Russian space program. It followed an Octюber 2018 [launch failure](https://apnews.com/article/a69a391999f048d7a1ecf023ed928799), when a Soyuz rocket carrying NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Roscosmos’ Alexei Ovchinin to the International Space Station failed less two minutes after the blastoff, sending their rescue capsule into a steep ride back to a safe landing. Hague and Ovchinin had a brief period of weightlessness when the capsule separated from the malfunctioning Soyuz rocket at an altitude of about 50 kilometers (31 miles), then endured gravitational forces of 6-7 times more than is felt on Earth as they came down at a sharper-than-normal angle. The 2018 launch failure was the first such accident for Russia’s manned program in over three decades. ## Conversation Follow this conversation to be notified when new comments are postedfollow Log in \\| Sign up All comments are subject to our [Community Guidelines](https://apnews.com/community-guidelines).

Hague and Ovchinin had a brief period of weightlessness when the capsule separated from the malfunctioning Soyuz rocket at an altitude of about 50 kilometers (31 miles), then endured gravitational forces of 6-7 times more than is felt on Earth as they came down at a sharper-than-normal angle. The 2018 launch failure was the first such accident for Russia’s manned program in over three decades.
