Baikonur [Kazakhstan], Apr 20 (ANI): Russia's Soyuz MS-04 spacecraft has been launched to International Space Station (ISS) from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. The spacecraft carries two crew members including NASA (U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration) astronaut Jack Fischer and Russian cosmonaut Fyodor Yurchikhin, reports the Sputnik. The launch was carried out from the Russian-leased launch facility of Baikonur, carrying 70 kilograms of food products.
