Soyuz TMA-19M was launched atop of aSoyuz-FG rocket at 11:03:09UTC on 15 December 2015 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome,Kazakhstan. Following the launch, the Soyuz spacecraft successfully achieved orbital insertion 9 minutes later and began its 4-orbit journey to the Space Station. Unusually, while docking, theKurs docking navigation system failed, and a manual docking had to be performed byYuri Malenchenko. This delayed docking with the ISS by 10 minutes. The Soyuz docked with the ISS at 17:33:29 UTC the same day.[7] The crew then boarded the ISS at 19:58 UTC.[7]
Soyuz TMA-19M undocked on June 18, 2016 at 5:52 UTC, after being docked for 186 days. The crew landed safely inKazakhstan, southeast of the town ofDzhezkazgan on 09:15 UTC.[2]
