WASHINGTON — An Arianespace Soyuz mission will launch Nov. 7 without any delays resulting from the failure of a crewed, Russian-operated Soyuz launch earlier this month, Arianespace said Oct. 30.

 

Arianespace of Evry, France, said the Europeanized Soyuz it uses will launch the Metop-C weather satellite from the Guiana Space Center in South America on the same schedule set prior to the Russian mission.

The Metop-C satellite launch is the second of three Soyuz missions planned before the rocket is used to again carry crew to the International Space Station. Russia’s Ministry of Defense launched a Soyuz rocket Oct. 24 from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome. The third unmanned Soyuz launch, carrying a Progress resupply vessel to the International Space Station, is scheduled for Nov. 18, according to Russian news outlet TASS.

 

Metop-C is a 4,100-kilogram satellite that will complete a polar-orbiting constellation of three weather-forecasting spacecraft. It will be Arianespace’s eighth launch of 2018 and its second Soyuz launch this year.

 

The launch is scheduled for 7:47 p.m. Eastern, with satellite separation expected one hour later. Airbus Defence and Space built Metop-C for the European meteorological organization Eumetsat.

This was announced on Wednesday by the executive director of Roscosmos for manned programs, Sergey Krikalev.

"A couple of days ago, the emergency commission finished its work, the accident occurred due to abnormal separation of the first and second stages. One of the" sides "during the separation did not take the right distance and hit the second stage fuel tank, which caused the second stage to break. The reason for the fact that the commission found out was the abnormal work of the sensor, which signals the first and second stages of disagreement, "said Krikalev at a ceremonial event dedicated to the 55th anniversary of the Institute of Biomedical Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences ( IBE).

 

According to him, a cycle of events is being carried out to ensure further safe flights.

 

The Soyuz-FG launch vehicle with the Soyuz MS-10 manned space vehicle crashed on October 11, shortly after launching from Baikonur. The cosmonaut of Roscosmos Alexey Ovchinin (commander of the Union MS-10) and NASA astronaut Nick Haig were on board the ship heading for the ISS. The crew of the "Union" is not injured. This is the first emergency in 35 years at the launch of a manned ship.

 

Earlier, a source in the rocket and space industry told TASS that the first launch of the Soyuz-FG rocket after the crash on October 11 is scheduled for November 16. The launch of the Progress MS-10 cargo ship to the International Space Station is scheduled for 21:14 Moscow time from Baikonur.
