oh you mean there's a downside to artificial mortgage dr carried away that's cause report. hello this is art it actually is just so five pm here continuing rolling coverage of the big breaking news story from kosik stand today it's on our part chirality international coming live from moscow so we're going to give you the best coverage and indeed we have been on exclusives to its kevin zero in and he goes down over the studio eeg is coming to him in a minute is across all the latest feeds we've got some great coverage you just tuned in to show you so stay with us for maybe the next hour or so so let me tell you if you're just tuning in what's happened today earlier on a rocket malfunction and it forced a man soyuz launch to be aborted just two minutes after takeoff thought very quickly if you're watching the launch earlier on you'll know that was it started

off going to plan at that point on board a two man crew now there to make an emergency return everything went to plan despite what they've been through the looking remarkably good shape. capsule came back down to worth seven hundred kilometers away on board the russian commander alexia chin and also his colleague the u.s. flight engineer nick hague they're both said to be in a good condition these pictures now you're seeing here were exclusive that we brought you a half ago where they just landed. ok you didn't see the point there but then this is another bit of their trip today where they were taken back to baikonur. so that's not the plane they expected to be out of all the aircraft certainly they expected to be on they were very much thinking would be much closer to the excess by now after making for all bitch around the world but no they're back down on earth and they've landed with their families the families of met them we just spoke to the russian cosmonauts wife she was telling us what what

a day it's been for now we've obtained exclusive video of the rescue operation where rescuers arrived by helicopter before reaching the crew inside that tiny spore small cap sure that surprised us all to see how small it was and then getting out to safety the crew and now say the pictures are slightly out of sync here but you get the drift on board the flight made their way back to the baikonur cosmodrome now what you're seeing on the screen is now is dmitry rogozin he was talking there earlier on to the russian to the american. and again we're looping this speech is this is just a bit more of the travels today coming back to safety and eventually but to star city in moscow. now both the russian cosmonaut legacy a chin in the american arsenal a said to be doing well they've already gone through initial check ups the doctors say the two men are in good physical and psychological logical condition and they don't need any special treatment as i say

they're on the way now back to the baikonur cosmodrome where they're expected to make their first statements and undergo further examinations we literally just spoke to the wife of aleck c. chin she told issues beside herself with. loneliest of those of us are you discouraged of the. liberal party or. the fact in that them people are mere intensive search of a source or do any number of governors years old her version the way. she look at every issue. russian soyuz spacecraft to forty pm local time eagle that was about eleven o'clock this morning where we are as nearly as it was eleven or was it was twenty minutes to noon or just two minutes after it took off one hour from the end but then just two minutes after it took off a rocket booster malfunction was detected so the crew made a successful emergency landing in central kazakstan and it hasn't ended in disaster

for them the two men seems to have only picked up minor injuries even if anyone was in a.z. to see it was amazing to see them and it was really walking aboard the plane that took them from that small town of just kind of gun to baikonur they were actually walking themselves so the rescue operation began right after the crash landing four helicopters as well as an army of paratroopers descended on to the location where the where the crew landed so the astronauts and cosmonauts were extracted from the capsule and brought in for medical examination and now we actually have a correspondent on the ground auntie's doing quarter was at the launch site to watch the takeoff and what happened he also watched the incident that abruptly ended. nick cave and the russian cosmonaut aleksei have cheney and they've they landed in an emergency capsule military parachutes were deployed somewhere in northern cassock stand.

because. we we've been here since days before the rocket launch basically the spirits were very optimistic 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 good bye their last goodbyes to their families. preparing for their six month journey in in orbit you know. astronaut in the cars were not there a 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.

i 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 you know that was a day that don't unplanned as well he did say to them you're a veteran of covering these things you've been to baikonur once twice before to cover it. up so the thing you've got to also bear in mind is if it does go wrong prepare yourself for the very highly unlikely to do because this is a very rare event we've witnessed a day so it's been a day that. planned for him that this launch was aborted just minutes of to have to take off when the booster rocket to. to malfunction this is the moment there's not much to see about it is that the moment it actually started to unravel.

the. message of rocket failure everyone doing their duty very professionally is just what we see and there you go there the people gathered to watch the launch just pose here yeah indeed a lot of people it's because the baikonur that's how it functions that's how it been revolves around launches and it has been built around the whole idea of launching people doesn't work when we had rocket failure that first inkling the human side of really works of we gather the computer so i can very quickly here will become apparent there was a serious technical issue for a minute as well that life either the launch was cut but it really came back on because i was watching it at a later stage when it was going up into the sky soon afterwards to all the reports started to emerge that the crew were going to attempt this emergency landing in their capsule special word for the ballistic it was a ballistic descent. descent what that means basically that when

a thing like this happens it's always going to. see the emergency module kind of blasts the capsule away from the faulty rocket from the from the rocket that we heard there from anyone perinatal it is deeper than they normally would yeah that's why the force was bunch much stronger than. the normal normally would be like around three and at that time it was between six and seven according to the when i was in the work i would like to listen as we talk to a former cosmonaut here and he said that while it's something that they are indeed being prepared they've been prepared for even more for for for worse pressure when it when it comes to this but still it's more than twice the. norm so that. both both men now back to grow and swiftly and safely unharmed amazingly and not in need of any medical attention that was another big shocker because this is

the moment was in that they learned about the capsules just going off shot there this is taken obviously by one of the first responders there on the phone these pictures are a bit shaky because if we stay with it we'll get a closer put a minute of that actual pod that they don't helicopters over there and to the right i think is the actual capsule and i mean when it is when it gets in the frame just to bear in mind yeah there it is actually it's it's not big i mean at first even i didn't even notice it and it's just it's approximately the. same person look at that and bear in mind that there are two person going through immense we saw the pause shifts we saw the pictures a lot coming down a big parachute why parachute with them orange circles on it to be able to get it identified and it boy did its job didn't it oh yeah indeed and so i think we can now go and speak live to dr david brown no yeah i believe we can at that if you can

hear a seven is going to be quiet talk to bro you there it's kevin and he goes down off in the studio live on artie international yes well i can see hopefully you can hear us what a day it's been doesn't it look at all the university of war here in the u.k. what do you think of the way the safety procedures kicked in the it all kind of went to plan on fortune of course but it all happened like clockwork didn't it. yes it did and i think we should all be very thankful that these systems which have been designed for just this eventuality have worked exactly as they've been designed to do yeah would could you have expected that the cosmonaut and the astronauts to have been to have come out of this more scary than they actually did . it's possible yes. you were just saying the g. forces they experienced were significantly higher than the new fuel for launch

or reentry because of the trajectory they had to take so given the conditions in the cap surely it's possible that they could've they could have come out of this much worse and they did so without getting too gory about it what what are the effects the g. forces on people what can people put up with what could g. force do to you. it can force blood away from vital organs it can cause temporary blackouts. there are a lot of quite severe consequences. but the six to seven six point seven g. force that they experienced although unusual for this kind of event is within tolerance for the human body as long as it's not for sustained periods of time david this is igor a correspondent in the studio now with going to ask you about the crews up there in

orbit because all of them are in complete right now aren't they we have one astronauts from the american side one european and one russian and so right now the failure of the rocket of this mission means that they will have to postpone the research they will have to postpone fixing those holes that were recently discovered in the hull of the eye assess and which may get made a huge scandal so would you make of that like how long will this impact the work on the station. that's a really really interesting question actually it's not clear to me yet how the crew will and the crew change over shuttle is going to be adjusted to compensate for this. scene. the soyuz is being grounded while an investigation into this this aborted launch takes place which means that the three man three person crew up

there at the moment. may have to stay for longer than they're anticipating. there may be an accelerated share your for the next planned crew launch we might see some extra test flights of some of the upcoming commercial launch vehicles so it's not clear to me exactly exactly how this is going to proceed i think the most likely outcome is that the current three person crew will just have to extend their stay as you say that may lead to. some reduction in the research program or the maintenance program because of because of crew numbers purely. i would imagine resources are they are not going to run short of resources or those most urgent they're not going to run short of love food drink except they shouldn't do you know. david no i would imagine so although the soyuz is being

grounded yeah i've read some reaction of both online. to what happened today and we also talked to the former cosmonaut who was there and some people are saying that while this kind of throws a shadow on the whole russian space program while the former cool cosmonaut alexander that we had here in the studio he still says they saw you the soyuz rocket is the most fail proof solution for bringing people into space we have where do you stand here does it really. impact i guess my question is will this emergency i have on the space program. i think it will delay it i don't think it cost this. for the russian space program at all this design of rocket the soyuz f g has previously done sixty four

successful launch is over a seventeen year period so for one. one failure in that period i think is a pretty good success rate what about the comm what about the content of the mound program as i said i think it will lead to some delays. what about the competition near the dragon capsule the project that bubbles got lined up because at the moment there's nobody planned is there yeah the soyuz project's been hugely reliable over the years the comradeship the international comradeship. says of course as well as being so well lauded but. the competition is on route is that going to hasten this competition coming forward or not. i think it might do. i think there may be an accelerated testing program for those competitors as i said. if only to provide an alternative or

a backup as you just as you just mentioned but of course we have to be careful of the those new programs on accelerating too quickly. to the point where perhaps they undergo less strenuous testing because we're trying to get another program ready to go i think you spend to ensure long term safety and sustainability of the manned spaceflight program than it would be to rush into something as a knee jerk reaction go but as far as that's as far as manned flights go i think as far as our manned supply missions go i think we're still ok go in but it's what those two guys have been through today how much would it have been them just simply sitting there strapped into this seat to just have the get on with their i was all happening around the automated very quickly or they have had some physical interaction some physical process with actually getting out of that rocket out of work. so my understanding is that the

decision to separate the cap sure from. the rocket did involve some human intervention. a lot of the system will have been automated and then once they are down on the ground of course they have to get out of the capsule themselves and as i think was mentioned mentioned earlier they have undergone a lot of training for different landing scenarios in different kind of environments so there will have been some human intervention at various stages but a lot of it could be or may well have been controlled from the ground how much wire peroration goes into this kind of thing i mean it's a huge amount of training for the for the cosmonauts for the astronauts the go up there is new year's need is. how much preparation goes into getting the soyuz ready to making sure that everything is totally as it should be that every nut and bolt is done up that every layer is covered when it comes to safety because of course they feel so important nothing is left to chance is it.

absolutely nothing no you're right the astronauts and cosmonauts do go through years and years of training but the build process for these rockets is is very heavily scrutinized it's very careful yes recently we've seen a car full of. that are interesting and have raised some questions certainly once the rocket is assembled and it's ready on the launch pad the pre-launch checks are incredibly thorough they will not have launched this rocket unless they thought it was safe to fly is this going to just for all of you is what what's next for the soyuz project it's been going since the fifty's actively since the sixty's yes it's been modernized along the way we have reliable it is we're the very few incidents like this what's next for it as we go into you know another decade in a couple years. that's

a very good question. obviously it's going to be grounded temporarily wall an investigation carries on i think we may well see further safety improvements further upgrades to the basic design of the rocket. i think long or mid to long it may well get eventually get phased out as those competitors you've mentioned come on stream. perhaps we may see a subsequent russian rocket designed to take over from the soyuz but i think i think the fundamentals of the program of solids and i think it will be a. series of great operation updates to the design or i dr david brody of the department of physics at university of warrick thank you for making the time short notice come see us today and i say at least at least it didn't end in tragedy today than it did some good news that both those guys on that rocket got back safely have a good day so thank you very much so on

a day it's be one hell of a gift is joining us hi there this is art international it's given away with the with our rolling coverage are up in here for four hours but it's going to be for that what happened today with the soyuz rocket that was should have been heading up to the sets but didn't quite get there the two guys on board only two crew this time actually eager for got to ask you this we've covered this many times before can the soyuz only take to take three people this time but this time the carry two men one is the russian cosmonaut i like see. he's a forty seven years old and he's the more experienced of the couple so he actually has a military background he was a pilot. in the russian air force and so then he became a cousin in north and he trained for ten years for his maiden flight took place in two thousand and sixteen and so now it is it was supposed to be its second mission

so he was the commander on board of that so use rockets or he was in charge of everything and the difference for the cosmonaut astronauts well is the word is that just one russian and no difference on rank you know the difference in ranking not at all just different but the. on this. flight was the pilot was kind of the pilot in chief was a he was the commander there was the commander yes he had the rank of the commander but it's important to distinguish two to tell one from another he wasn't the commander of the i assess he was the commander over that particular flight that ended so abruptly because of the emergency so that's what we know about him and in fact we talked to here recently had a child so he has a small kid at home and what they've been through today i recently talked to his wife his mother we could see we watched him hugging his mother as he made it back to the baikonur after the emergency landing but we also talked to his mother

and his wife before all of that happened before the actual flight and they told us about all the feelings that go through their heads every time his loved one their loved one. leaves earth really. going on with the economic prayers only me my i made phone numbers i would at once think that there were you know comes it will be my part. to get to listen my daughter i am going to make you some little clip that you get across this shirt or someone you want to talk. on really don't compress the suggesting we put them on young man up and we share. the we want them to be on the group but they are the commune but it. was blues in the beginning you know bill

it's taking it. seriously should look of open. up a new to me of some truths that there could be it is interesting that some of them. my man started with. when your mother called petition. to stay you know a call from the game against mr dean was that that's trash number. three to sticking it's a new it's. so unusual in that. the scene at the. start of. it was. that i had this to go to a professional start. teaching or what i had gotten to. give the things that has. gotten your louis difficult.

and so there you have it really but it is partner his partner on this mission is american astronauts nick haig so he is less experienced and it was his maiden flight so he's less experienced but in no way can he does be described as a rookie he also she has a military background just like the cosmonauts and he was just discharged in the rank of colonel and kind of in the american air force of course so there's that and he joined the space program in two thousand and thirteen and finished his preparation they finished his training in two thousand and fifteen and so so he's waited for five years he's been preparing for this maiden flight of his for five years real tinge through his happiness sadness today because you can see in this

faces things that you don't know worth to save but you didn't get the it's a double edged sword because obviously he saved his life which is the main thing here obviously this is the key thing but of course his first fly did not happen there's no understanding it's comply. no when it's going to happen if ever although there aren't any reasons for him to be taken off the program but there's that so these are the two people that were supposed to make it in orbit today but luckily or unluckily stayed on earth. and even you were talking earlier on you do another program the same terms all this was. the russian side of things and you'd spoken to says who of course was the rocket supposed to got those for which run the world was supposed to get there in six hours in about six to get in there surely it would have been getting around this time maybe like the crew. the crew member that was already up there already put the dinner here the talk to the russian cosmonaut

who's up there all alone in the russian section is going. to get called he talked about some elements of russian cuisine that. requested to be ready upon his arrival there's nothing nothing fancy just like some standard standard things to remind him of the american we we heard from him earlier as well his name was nick a yeah yeah he's talked about him is forty three years old we also talked to him and he described his feelings what he expected from this flight that didn't happen have a listen. i think the thing i'm most looking forward to is just experiencing my own adaptation to space i'm going to go up there and i'm going to float for six months my feet need to touch the ground they'll be all kinds of kids or logical changes that are going to happen to my body and i'm going to adapt that

environment there is also going to be every day something that surprises me i just want to try to absorb as much of it as i can i've heard lots of astronauts and cosmonauts come back from space and see it way you describe it never does it justice. never capture the true colors of up there so i just want to try to zoar a bit as much as i can looking at that one go for the first time and just sort of a. brave guy well it didn't happen quite for him didn't really get up into orbit there the whole flight only lasted a couple of minutes but the good news is both of them him and his colleague the russian colleague the commander in chief that if they got back to earth safely earlier on and the cassock steps so it's twenty seven minutes past five o'clock in the evening here in moscow this is art international with me kevin owen we've been going rolling with this for hours now it's a big story that came in today from a rocket should be going up to assess didn't a rocket malfunction forced

a man soyuz launch to be aborted just minutes after it took off little drummer over it obviously the two man crew had to make an emergency return quickly landing safely in their capsule seven hundred kilometers away from baikonur where they originally took off both the russian commander legacy of chinon and u.s. flight engineer nick haig are said to be in a good condition what you're seeing there is exclusive video we brought you a very early on first responders getting to that scene there with a mobile phone rescue is a rather by helicopter before reaching the crew inside that small here it comes that small cap sure as we get closer to it you see the size of it nowhere near as big as you probably think it would be that's the thing that took them to safety will stay with these pictures for a minute so i want you get a close up view of look it's no bigger than one person standing up and if you stay with these pictures you'll actually see inside that here it comes to see inside that little pod that they came back down in so very quickly but that brought them

back to safety on the big white and orange striped parachute now on your screens now as well the first pictures of the crew after that emergency landing both the russian cosmonaut alexi of chin and the american astronaut nick hague doing pretty well it has to be so. all surprise we expect to see them a bit shaken up but they seem to have gone through their ordeal today pretty well they're having some initial checkups the doctors say the two men will bring those pictures in a minute on a good physical and psychological crucially condition they don't need any special treatment right demitra goes into on the right there he's the head of the cosmos the space station is the american there is the there's the russian space station it's the russian space company that is in charge of this whole soyuz thing he was very quickly there to give his support now those guys then very quickly got another plane back to where they started the baikonur cosmodrome where they are expected to

make their first written statements talk to the experts they're trying to work out what went wrong while it's still in their memories best they can remember and have further examinations you can see the america.
