capsule showed the men being shaken in their seats the two month our russian commander alexi of chinon u.s. flight engineer tyler haig on his maiden voyage into space. and off has been a very interested observer into what is unfolding today because you had a program allness before and you were looking at all the details you were but you had been in contact with. family and friends of course for that as well why did this happen what is the best theory as to why this problem unfolded well obviously the investigation well they've had like what only a couple of hours even less to work to figure out what's been going on we do have an unconfirmed report would cause the would cause the emergency was the one of the blocks of the first booster while splitting of the rocket the second booster and so that physical impact caused the pressure there to drop and so emergency systems kicked into action so this is what could have happened now probably this is an unconfirmed report and construct this enough but where this could be coming from is we do know that since the very beginning since well everybody

minutes into their flight causing them to abort and return to earth russian commander alexi of chinon u.s. flight engineer nick cake were expected to spend about six months on the international space station let's take a look at. military earth ports one of the entrances to the airport just northeast of moscow this is where the two men are expected to arrive shortly they spent a night in baikonur for medical assessment for some well well earned rest of children. to spend a couple of days the star city astronaut training center infestation into what went wrong thursday is the launch is underway and part of the damage rockets are already being fine so again we're just looking. at airport the entrance to the military base where the two men are expected to be landing within the hour or so we think but for now let's say what was a brief but nail up by thing journey. baikonur cosmodrome food scene food c. local time lift off in five fool. anyone. and lawyer but i didn't see it and you did not know. she is always the most breaking bad's the energy and stress involved colossal rise of the recent

flight causing them to abort and return to earth russian commander alexi of chinon and u.s. flight engineer nick a big were expected to spend around six months on the international space station both men were taken to hospital near their launch site in baikonur for medical checks thankfully neither sustained injury they're due back in moscow in the next hour or so where they will be reunited with their relieved relatives an investigation into what went wrong is under way and part of the damage rockets already being fired rockets the of outlines what was a brief but no biting. baikonur cosmodrome food scene food see local time lift off in five fool. anyone and. lawyer but you will see it and you did not lift up. the law and she is always the most nerve raking part of the energy and stress involved the colossal rise of the respects and dangers this time of everything proceeding as intended for today's plight near the two minute mark the first stage boosters begin to separate something goes wrong. all right and there's no time to wait think one hundred twenty one seconds and me

communication was cut off with growing and control two people were on board russian commander alexi of chinon on u.s. flight engineer tyler haig who was on his first mission to the international space station there are three people aboard the i assess it would have taken six hours for them to get there no word yet as to when another launch will be taking place because of course people on board the i says will be awaiting. supply and more information on of course so these are quite dramatic scenes coming from the step as we say just less than. half go these are where all russia is space flights have been launched from baikonur it's the world's first that's laur largest operational space launch facility and indeed since the retirement of the american space shuttle program water run seven years ago baikonur has been the only launch site from the international space station missions. it would have taken as we sit six hours to get to that they would have been staying up there for six months until april twenty nineteen a lot of different experiments to be. on the fly with me here in this studio just befor

and we will of course bring you up to date with the two man crew or russian commander alexi of chinon and u.s. flight engineer tyler hague i'm also joined in the suit by. don off who has been following developments has been following the launch as well the last few hours i mean fooling following. actually looking at the latest and apparently the director of the russian space agency has confirmed the crew is back on. the crew is alive and well we're not sure no information on the injuries but even if they are injured in any way does not see those significant wounds so just once again i want to stress this is coming from the director from the head of the russian space agency that the crew is back on alive and the rescue teams are indeed there will their search. the area. you should be approaching the crew right now as we speak there are four helicopters in the air getting to the crew so this is this is important now just to recap the launch how it happened because follow the beginning to and it seemed that everything was going fine until the force of the modules split from the rocket because we

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 p

can report in that capsule seven hundred kilometers away both the russian commander alexi of chinon and the u.s. flight engineer nick haggis said to be unbelievably in a good condition. right honestly didn't. remember for a good. while as investigation starts russia's investigative committee says they're looking into whether a violation of safety rules caused the sawyers miss up let's take a look at how events unfolded step by step. egypt. is now making its way to the international space station on a cake. and you can. earlier the crew landed back the baikonur cosmodrome where they'd start of the dramatic day later they'll be transported to the gar in cosmonaut training center in star city outside moscow that's basically the command center the control center for it all all those involved have had a shake and experience to say the least it's hard to imagine what family and friends of the crew have been going through some of the relatives have already met with their cosmonauts while others are still waiting on your whole kids is at star city where that crew will be some sported so bring us up to

his first was in twenty sixteen it took ten years of preparation of chinon spent almost six months in space the other guy there the u.s. astronaut forty three year old nick a u.s. air force colonel the mc this was his maiden trip into space appointed as the team's flight engineer has accepted to become an astronaut in twenty thirty and completed his training two years later. is what the media chief for the russian space agency ross cosmos told journalists about the crew's return to earth earlier those usually all are alive and feel good their land live not far from just that's quite far away from baikonur around the daylong riot. we got reaction from the director of pangaea wire a risk analysis consultancy that also specializes on the space industry he told us what impact this launch failure might have on upcoming projects now. you know this knowledge that is a big lesson the engine is an os they need to really assess what happened with this or why it failed and how they can prevent this from happening in the future no doubt. tests will be made to make sure this won't happen again you know not a lot of pressure i beli
