Soyuz Launch

The launch of the Soyuz rocket TMA-19M is taken by an automatic camera. For a photographer to get that close to 274 tonnes of rocket fuel would not be a good idea! The Soyuz rocket launched in December 2015 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome.This facility is Earth’s largest space launch centre and is situated in Kazakhstan. On board was the UK and ESA Astronaut Tim Peake.
