Soyuz MS-14 was a Soyuz spaceflight to the International Space Station.[1] It carried no crew members, as it was intended to test a modification of the launch abort system for integration with the Soyuz-2.1a launch vehicle.[8] It launched successfully on 22 August 2019 at 03:38 UTC.[2] It was the first mission of the Soyuz crew vehicle without a crew in 33 years, and the first-ever unpiloted mission of Soyuz to the ISS.[9]
