March 23, 2024 (EIRNS)—The Soyuz MS-25 launched on March 23 with three astronauts, including the first astronaut from Belarus. The launch was delayed on March 21 due to a battery problem. Given the different orbital position of the Space Station, the crew will not arrive until March 25. Their stay on the ISS has also been adjusted to give them the time that was originally allotted to them for their work on the ISS.
