well function just a few minutes afterwards and that's when things started to unwind now we've got this video to show you just joining us and catching up with all this the latest one from inside the capsule showing the men being shaken in this seat some reports saying that sometimes they felt this that they felt weightless they should have the other way around that they should have pushed back into the seat so they knew that things were going wrong quite soon in appears the to my own crew are the russian commander alexi of chin in u.s. flight engineer tyler haig so that launch was aborted minutes after takeoff when it appears the number one booster the first one began to melt function . already initiated a. minute before the good. will when it

became apparent that there was a serious technical issue the live feed of the launch was cut soon afterwards reports started to emerge that the crew is attempting an emergency landing in that capsule both men on board swiftly made it back they're worth a guess or more to mate it will talk about that a minute and harmed as best we know and not in need of any medical attention as best we know but i want to get more on this because eagle has done has been covering this all morning you're almost fresh on it to me you've got more detail in your head about this these guys came back down to earth we saw that cap she was sore that multi-colored parachute but they would have come there with a fair old work a lot of gravity they went through and g. forces there. what do we know about their actual state they're alive but do we know if they're harmed i've said on harm there is that strictly the case one of the crucial the crucial thing here to understand is that they're alive this is the main thing they're alive is in terms of the of their condition conflicting reports i mean we we would really be better off if we waited for the official medical. like

results so this is what we know also according to the latest the crew has been extracted from the capsule put on the helicopter and they're being taken to the nearby kazakh city which is the city over jessica's gun if i'm getting the name correctly so this is the latest so they descended in northern kansas stan it was a ballistic landing and so well there's that so the main thing here is of course the crew is alive it was the second flight for the second mission for the russian cosmonaut he was flying in the rank of the commander of the soyuz rocket and while it was a maiden flight for the american north nick haig also we know that investigation obviously has been launched into the thing the investigators they have already been examining the telemetry that they've been getting from the rocket from of just for you to understand it's like a flight recorder on

a plane is that sort of information that sort of data but on a plane it's being stored just there from the rock it is being beamed live to earth so they already know something and it could be from of that information we've been getting reports that. there are two versions unconfirmed versions of what could have happened one says that one of the blocks from the first booster came off and hit the whole of the second block and so that physical impact caused the pressure to drop there and so that sort of kicked the emergency protocol into action in other reports suggesting that one of the blocks from the first boosted did not deploy in time and so that was the cause of the emergency now of course both imports unconfirmed or we will have to wait for the results of the information of the official investigation other report suggests suggests that the investigators will look closely into the operations. over the manufacturer of the rocket and they

will also examine all rockets that have been already produced to date that was fired there are five of them and we're being told so this is the latest information . been around since the sixty's and this technology well in silliest form has been around since its fifty years old and isn't it and it's the same kind of soyuz rocket propulsion systems all those been modernized over the years this started but i think a rocket this is the rocket this is the two thousand and one modification this particular modification has been. around since two thousand and one but essentially yes they're based around the same design that was first introduced in one thousand nine hundred fifty seven the rocket that moved the first satellite into space of course but that's well that's it's well over the years it's been seen as a pretty safe way to get people and things are safe places and it was the safest way really in decades and there's a thing like this hasn't happened in decades really but actually talked to the head

of the russian space agency administrator goes in and he said two things well the first one is that the emergency system today has proven its extreme reliability because it's thanks to thanks to this system both men are alive so there's that one guess every cloud has a silver lining also we know that he flew out to the location to the location of the landing site of where they where they landed that so. of course now this thing this emergency has a direct impact on the crew that's over there in space right now because there are three men on board of the ice right now russian cosmonaut and european and american . so they really needed this crew they really needed the russian and the. an

austrian are to get there because they. had a lot of things planned the most present of course but one of these things goes there's a huge amount of money involved in it when something like this goes wrong but they have a spare ready to go well we don't know how long it's going to not but what they're doing up on the well we do know that at least manned flights they have been put on hold this has been officially confirmed so no manned flights in the near future so the show jewel will be pushed off what about the people up in the us well that's a very good question but of course they won't have to talk to an expert just the previous hour and he told us that of course they won't have to kind of you know tighten their belts and rush and there are more. that would that would that won't happen because i can see because of course crucially with the soyuz with what happens in kazakhstan it's impossible there's no other way to get in and. indeed but well the big thing right now there are the holes in the that's the big

scandal that's been going on for a couple of weeks i think not only for those who were those who don't know what happened to just a hole was discovered basically in the hull of the station and like a small one but still a small hole in space that's a pretty big deal and nobody knows where it came from there are several versions circulating around it was that a manufacturing error or something was it was it someone on board who drilled it this hole and some of the holes that were discovered later now that's of course unthinkable absolutely unthinkable if you ask me but still there were a few space walks planned both on the american side and on the russian side like both of americans and russians planned a few space walks we have been getting unconfirmed reports that those space walks have been pushed off well that that sounds plausible simply because again we have one american one european and one russian guy up there so they need their partners . there you know they need with their russian and american partners to conduct

those walks so the report that they have been pushed of again it sounds plausible ok igor we'll let you get but the information's coming in as well as we're going to lower get you get more even more acquainted with the latest coming to come but a bit later keep us posted thanks for that for now so prior to the launch we spoke with the wife and the mother of the russian cosmonaut a legacy of chinon who described to us what it feels like to watch a mission take off. there are no moving in with a good number of the thirty economic players only me my i need phone numbers i want the one thing that never you know comes up with a book that point by pride when you let me get to decide what the i am will do make your family look the flip side to get that across southeast focus should someone look nothing in the book or critical can achieve motion on that you don't compress the signal stay in the room and put them in young man up and his shots of the evil

critiquing the he would have to get the situation on the group but they had the commune to look at the film that was as blue as in the preview he would be with the kids if you're. interested shouldn't people be. was given it by nuking the room some chance that there could be if this situation snapped them them. calmed down my man started to look to the if when you lot of squad petition. the way your post to stay out a call on the end you must mr genius that that's fashionable. could that be just a thing it's a good new it's. so and you. will see it in the cool to slow. it slows it can use nicely does it add this to still so professional stuff. new digital what i had thought changes was. at least eight times the force of

gravity which is really kind of a crushing retiree it's difficult for so to get to the head what that feels like what is what was a.g. feel like what could he do. i can i can only imagine i have been in a centrifuge that has gone up to about three g.'s which was would be like a standard return for space shuttles and and sought after for a control nominal reentry of a soyuz vehicles near the end of those nominal realities of a soyuz at the end of the mission can get up to six years at their peak load. i mean it's eight times your force you know your weight pushing on your chest on your body you know your blood would pull at the back of your body on the way down. do you have cushion couches that are designed to kind of support cosmonaut and astronaut bodies on the way down as well as cushion their landing when they make a land landing on the ground so you know we've seen these types of ballistic landings in the past back in two thousand and eight there were a series of them because it was able to isolate the cause of those entries at the

end of their mission profiles and in one thousand nine hundred five there was a similar type of a launch failure that led to a ballistic landing shortly after liftoff for that's where you screw up for three egos down on what correspondences to display the this is well put back again you want to. have a question for you about the state of the state of experiments and basically how this will impact the people on board of the like obviously the russians that and like these sort of emergencies the possibility of them is being taken into account during every food delivery but in terms of experiments in terms of everything now will be able to. yeah. yes so so essentially the three astronauts of expedition fifty seven crew that are up there now the russian cosmonaut the american national and the german commander alexander you know they are kind of in

a holding pattern now there was another soyuz crew launch slated for december that will likely be put off we heard that earlier from the space agency from those causeways officials that they're going to wait and find out as well as you can expect because the progress automated vehicles the cargo launches that was caused as launch to launch any similar. that those might be pushed back as well there's usually one of those also in december so you know any kind of new deliveries on the soyuz booster side will likely be affected by this on the u.s. side and japanese side nasa does have two partners to launch cargo food supplies to the international space station one of those in antares rocket and cygnus vehicle is slated for launch in november and space x. in the u.s. would be what would have a dragon vehicle to visit later on as well so they could start maybe a bit extra supplies if they needed to space x. dragon skin come back and then just the japanese aerospace exploration and she just

recently launched their own cargo ship and if they should have one in the pipeline so on the supply side they have vehicles in the pipeline to ferry the supplies of these astronauts will need it's what these the crew on the station will have to wait now for you know when when they can come back to earth when they'll get a relief group that's what we're waiting to find out because it sounds like there will be at least some sort of stretch of time where they won't have a relief prue in in the works until cosmos and nasa and all the partners are comfortable with what the investigation into this and all well russia has already put on hold its manned flights to the i assess just how long do you expect that to be an action. well it could be several several months. they do have a bit of a buffer that next crew launch was slated for december if they isolate the the anomaly quickly and. are able to to. convince both

investigators it was kosmos as well as they're going to national partners like me as a european space agency canada and japan that those vehicles are safe to fly you would expect at least one flight of a soyuz booster with a progress made of vehicle on top to assure everyone that it would be safe and once those reviews are in place that they would be ready to fly that next group it couldn't be could take a few months however for them to get comfortable with that so this this crew on the station could be looking at some sort of extension of their flight that's again not final yet the international donors would have to meet and decide what sort of approach they would have to take when there were so you can. boost your feelings of crude progress vehicles and in the past there were months long extension months long part of me extensions for those missions. are all been around since the sixty's this technology since even before that the project yeah it's been updated

of course over the it but could it be referred to as a workhorse of the sky. you know it really has been you know the international space station itself on its own will be turning twenty years old in november and since its inception since the first component launched to it in one thousand nine hundred eight you know these these vehicles have been used for crude launches to the space station for progress cargo ship launches to the station versions of these measures were used for a for visits to me or and even to the space stations too they have made in has been over over over the years to make them more robust but you know a version of these studies bush has been in use for for many years because of their dependability. you know every every one of these launches is go so much preparation that goes into it but i suppose these are all kids by the very nature are so complicated that complicated all the way to mystic two days ago starting two

days ago when we got here we saw the astronauts at a press conference giving it talking to the media saying their last goodbye the last goodbyes to their families. preparing for their six month journey in in orbit it's been confirmed that both the astronaut in the cars were not there and ok but when the launch happened we saw it clearly from here everything looked fine. the rocket ascended into the sky several was clapping taking videos but one thing that people mentioned hearing about a minute after the the launch was that they heard a sound that a lot of people were saying sounded like the rocket launch itself but far off away so perhaps that was that was them hearing the emergency capsule back in orbit we don't know but but basically that's what happened and so i'm donald korda reporting from baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan well launch was aborted just minutes after

takeoff as we heard there when the booster rocket began to malfunction. right on the she did a. good. yeah that's the phrase nobody wanted to hear rocket failure isn't it when it became apparent that there was a serious technical issue the live feed of the launch was cut for a bit then it popped back up again soon afterwards reports started to emerge the crews attempting an emergency landing in their capsule both men onboard swiftly made it back to earth. i say on a live we think of the so many various accounts of that coming in at the moment i want to get a bit more on it but apparently the initial reading was they were not in need of any urgent medical attention albeit they've been through a lot of g.'s they're coming back down to earth so what is the state is the main

thing what is the state of these two astronauts cosmonauts he goes down off and across the story and he kicked off about three hours ago the been conflicting reports first of all they're on hand they did need medical attention they were just saying no they're alive they may be on hand to help me get any more on this or indeed we got some official reaction on this from the russian academy of sciences which is kind of the body that oversees this whole this whole thing too and so according cording to their according to their director according to one of the one of the managers of the condition of the crew he's not concerned basically saying that he's not concerned with the health of the crew so may be may be unharmed could not be the right word to describe this but definitely nothing grave going on going on in that you were always of course i mean because there are there are two sides of this coin here one we have the physical impact and two we have the psychological impact so obviously the medics and professionals they will be looking into both

things also what we're hearing from the same officials that the. do not indeed need medical help they like the do not need any right away medical help we know you've covered you've been to baikonur couple times covering these launches and it was an amazing thing i mean it's one of the see on television is another thing really when you were there as you told me totally get this huge block she said the ground actually starts to shake it doesn't it's a massive machine a massive thing and the training that goes into it is massive as well so. it's like i suppose you are on your money when you're a pilot when you planes in trouble trying to deal with the training it cannot be underestimated how much training these guys have and they instant response is almost when things go wrong they're instantly trained how to react you know it's like it's like a knee jerk reaction really because for example the commander of the cosmonaut training he trained for ten years before he got his first mission in twenty sixteen and now so it's two years on so he's even more experienced than that he's

a partner nick haig he trained for five years before his first mission which was supposed to be today before he's made in fly so i mean we should never under estimate their experience and so right now we're talking about the psychological impact can you have to train yourself on the fact that all of the day these no matter how oily train these guys are humans and they came very close possibly to death today and i suppose there's no amount of training that can. mentally prepare you for that or is there i mean you know more about what goes on at baikonur in the training or do they put themselves in a place where they can and it's maybe a risk with the job. you got the closest of calls they could really today but i mean the way the emergency landing system performed the way they obviously performed on board it well and speaks about what they're capable of and i talked to one of the cosmonauts before was just a she's just preparing for her flight and she explained to me what sort of

preparation they go through of course most of the time they just study man. of the station but i mean. in other departments they train like isolation physical preparation you know science. proper ation for science experiments and well the list goes on but like physical and isolation training are also key. to any cosmonauts or or strenuous for the mother to be in a family member a husband wife partner of these guys is they go up and they're often there to watch these launches only but then you know worst case scenarios they certainly has gone wrong. and that's an absolutely heartbreaking that's an absolute that's that's a moment the whole you know spectra over motions the just the chaos of the this in the sheer insanity of learning about your loved one really it's well it's indescribable and it can't really be imagined and i think prior to the launch

we spoke to the wife and the mother of the russian cosmonaut it was his second day it was supposed to be his second mission is so i think we can now listen to to what they told us about how they always feel about their loved ones their loved one going into space. or are. going to the cookie economic prayers only mima i did phone numbers i would at once think that there were you know comes up with. the children just a minute that i am moved to make you some little clip that you get across this shirt from when you. talk to most and you don't come across the seduced him you put them on the young man up and you share. it with them to get to see just on the do they have the commune to look at this most of us because in the preview you know bullet to get your. drift to shoot

people. why are we polluting the room some chance that there could be at this church is not the. lot of them my man started the world to be a when you lot of squad coaches will take. away your post to stay yellow a call from the game against mr dean was that extraction will. be that great just a ping it's a good news. show and usually not a good to see little to quote the slow stuff.
