Soyuz MS-15

Soyuz MS-15 was a Soyuz spaceflight launched on 25 September 2019,[1] transporting two members of the Expedition 61 crew and a short duration visiting crew member to the International Space Station. Soyuz MS-15 was the 143rd flight of a Soyuz spacecraft manned. It was the last flight of Soyuz-FG launcher before its replacement by the Soyuz-2 in the crewed spaceflight role. The crew consisted of a Russian commander, an American flight engineer, and the first Emirati astronaut.[3] To celebrate this event, pictures of the Soyuz launcher and of Hazza Al Mansouri were projected on Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world.[4]

Notes

    gollark: But you don't need to bother managing your camera when you can just do the initial setup and have me do it.
    gollark: Whenever I talk of scanning the entire IPv4 address range I'm actually joking, see.
    gollark: Interestingly, heavpoot actually made something to scan all ngrok (a popular service for exposing internal services to the interweb™) ports/IPs for Minecraft servers.
    gollark: If it is actually portforwarded or whatever.
    gollark: Well, given the general security of IoT devices just the address is probably fine.
