BAIKONUR, Kazakhstan — NASA says two astronauts from the U.S. and Russia will be flown to Moscow after they made an emergency landing.
NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Roscosmos’ Alexei Ovchinin landed in the steppes of Kazakhstan Thursday following the failure of a Russian booster rocket carrying them to the International Space Station.
NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said in a statement that Hague and Ovchinin are in good condition and will be transported to the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center in Star City outside Moscow.
He added that a “thorough investigation into the cause of the incident will be conducted.”
