When Astronaut Nick Hague and cosmonaut Alexey Ovchinin were last strapped into a Russian-made Soyuz spacecraft in late 2018, things didn’t exactly go as planned. A last-second abort sent the pair careening back towards Earth, which is obviously not where they intended to end up. Today, they’ll get a second chance.
Both Hague and Ovchinin will once again be perched atop a Russian rocket as it speeds into space, and this time they’ll be joined by Hague’s colleague, fellow NASA astronaut Christina Koch. The trio will blast off to the International Space Station today at 3:14 p.m. EST, and you can watch the launch live right there.
