Launch-stage and landing context surfaced from LL2 when it exists.
Soyuz MS-10 was a manned Soyuz MS spaceflight which aborted shortly after launch on 11 October 2018 due to a failure of the Soyuz-FG launch vehicle boosters. It was intended to transport Aleksey Ovchinin and Nick Hague to the International Space Station.
