LIVE: ISS crew must make emergency landing on earth

Something went wrong during the launch of a rocket on the way to the ISS space station.

According to news agency Interfax the crew members are alive, but this has not yet been confirmed. 'Search and rescue teams are on the air to guide the touchdown,' NASA writes on social media.

It went wrong when the first stage, with which the rocket was released from the ground, had to be disconnected. Each rocket can break the flight to a certain point after launch and return to the ground.
