WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 11th October, 2018) The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is confident that Russia will conduct a thorough investigation into the Soyuz launch abort incident earlier on Thursday and the quality of the craft itself.
"We have confidence that our Russian colleagues will figure out what's going on," Kenny Todd, International Space Station Operations Integration Manager, said during a NASA briefing on Thursday.
"And in this case when it had an assent anomaly it has a great abort system that brought our crew home safely. So it just underscores to me that it is a good system, reliable system. I remain to have complete confidence in the Russians and the quality of their work," US astronaut Reid Wiseman told reporters.
