3 photos, not mine.
Soyuz MS-05 launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, in Kazakhstan at 15:41 utc yesterday. The launch was near-perfect and no issues were encountered to interfere with the 6 hour docking scheme so it docked with the International Space Station at 21:54 utc.

The 1st photo = The Soyuz-FG rocket, in-place at the launch site, after roll-out. The rockets are transported horizontally by train.
The 2nd photo = The Soyuz-FG rocket during lift-off.
The 3rd photo = The Soyuz MS-05 spacecraft docking with the International Space Station. But even after docking clamps have engaged and a seal is achieved, testing the seal delays the opening of the hatch for another hour or more.







Still waiting for the 1st manned launch from the new Vostochny Cosmodrome...
