Video: Soyuz MS-01 leaves the space station for landing

Watch the launch of Expedition 49, a three-man crew headed for the International Space Station aboard the Russian Soyuz MS-02 spacecraft from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

Ready for a resupply run to the International Space Station, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket was raised vertical at Cape Canaveral’s Complex 40 launch pad Wednesday ahead of a planned liftoff with more than 5,700 pounds of science experiments and crew supplies.

Two spacewalking astronauts working outside the International Space Station Friday completed work to replace aging batteries in one of the lab’s eight main solar power circuits. A second spacewalk next week, along with additional work with the station’s robot arm, will upgrade a second power channel.
