Tests of the “Soyuz MS-14” started

On July 24, 2019 the specialists of the RSC “Energia” and the Yuzhny Space Center (members of the Roscosmos State Corporation) transported the “Soyuz MS-14” spacecraft into the vacuum chamber at the Baikonur Cosmodrome for further leak tests.

The test cycle in a vacuum chamber today is the most objective method for monitoring tightness under ground conditions, ensuring verification of specified tightness requirements.

The launch of the “Soyuz MS-14” spacecraft to the International Space Station is scheduled for August 22, 2019.

It will be held in unmanned mode.
