NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“Little Planet Soyuz” is copyrighted by Andrew Bodrov. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

With engines blazing, a large Soyuz-FG rocket bids farewell to Earth. Launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, it carried a Soyuz MS-09 spacecraft into orbit. On board were International Space Station Expedition 56-57 crew members Sergey Prokopyev, Serena Aunon-Chancellor, and Alexander Gerst. Their spacecraft successfully docked with the orbiting outpost.
