A rocket, dedicated to the 80th anniversary of Victory, was successfully
launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome and reached orbit. The Soyuz MS-27 manned
spacecraft delivered the crew of Expedition 73 to the International Space
Station (ISS). The crew includes Roscosmos cosmonauts and a NASA astronaut.
They will stay in orbit for 245 days and conduct 50 scientific experiments.
Notably, this time a record number of tourists visited the cosmodrome, totaling
2,500 people.
