Rocket to space station fails, astronauts make emergency landing
Two space station-bound astronauts made an emergency landing on Earth minutes after launch as the rocket carrying their Soyuz spacecraft malfunctioned. The rocket took off from Kazakhstan with Russian Cosmonaut Alexey Ovchinin and US astronaut Nick Hague on board. The crew returned to Earth in a ballistic descent mode, which is a sharper landing angle compared to normal, said NASA.
