Mission Details

Soyuz MS-14

Wiki

Soyuz MS-14 will carry no crew members, as it is intended to test a modification of the launch abort system for integration with the Soyuz-2.1a launch vehicle. Unlike the traditional Soyuz-FG launcher which is turned on the launch pad to set the azimuth of its flight, Soyuz-2 performs a roll maneuver during its flight to change direction. The maneuver may trigger the analog launch abort system designed for Soyuz-FG. Soyuz MS-14 will test a solution for this issue. Soyuz MS-14 attempted to dock at ISS's Poisk module, but emergency abort was triggered. Soyuz MS-13, piloted by Aleksandr Skvortsov, will be moved to the Poisk module, Soyuz MS-14 will dock with the Zvezda module.
