Moscow, 19 October (TASR) – A Russian spacecraft, the Sojuz MS-02, with a team of three men heading for the International Space Station (ISS), has been launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakstan. Rossiya TV 24 reported.

The spacecraft will be transported to the orbital base of two Russian cosmonauts, Sergey Ryzkov and Andrey Borisenik, as well as their American colleague Shane Kimbrough.
