The Soyuz took off at 11:17 p.m. on Tuesday from the Baikonur Cosmodrome (Kazakhstan) with the help of a three-phase Soyuz FG carrier rocket.

Commander Misurkin begins his second stay at the ISS with this trip. Previously, Misurkin had spent 138 days in space over two missions. Instead, Vande Hei opens in space.

The IEE, a $ 150 billion project involving 16 nations, is currently comprised of 14 permanent modules and orbits at a speed of more than 27,000 kilometers per hour Tech News.

The orbit of the platform is raised from time to time with the help of the propellers of ships coupled to it, as the IAS loses daily between 100 and 150 meters in height due to earth gravitation, solar activity, and other factors.
