Live coverage: International crew lands in Kazakhstan

A Soyuz rocket launched Friday with four commercial satellites to expand broadband Internet coverage in remote parts of the world, climbing into orbit from the Guiana Space Center positioned on the northeastern shore of South America.

The spacecraft was originally scheduled to dock with the International Space Station the morning of Wednesday, Sept. 17. An alternate plan is in the works.

A Soyuz rocket blasted off from Russia’s northern cosmodrome Sunday, adding another satellite to the nation’s Glonass navigation fleet to replace an aging spacecraft.
