Soyuz TMA-14M Spacecraft Installed on the Transfer Compartment

Space industry specialists go on with preparation works for the manned launch.

On September 16 RSC Energia and Yuzhny Space Centre operational crews installed Soyuz TMA-14M spacecraft on the transfer compartment in 254 launchpad integration building. This compartment is like an adapter between the spacecraft and the booster: booster’s nose fairing will be fixed on it.

At the present time the crews comprising Alexander Samokutyayev(Roscosmos), Elena Serova ( Roscosmos), Barry Wilmore (NASA), Gennady Padalka ( Roscosmos), Mikhail Korniyenko (Roscosmos) and Scott Kelly (NASA) are having final trainings at Baikonur. The cosmonauts have already had their first training in Soyuz TMA-14M spacecraft, checked the spacesuits, communication means and equipment layout.

The launch of Soyuz-FG booster with Soyuz TMA-14M manned spacecraft is scheduled for September 26, 00:25, Moscow time.
