jsc2019e067106 - Outside the headquarters of the Russian space agency Roscosmos in Moscow, NASA astronaut Nick Hague (second from right) attends a ceremony Dec. 2 in which he received the medal of the Order of Courage from the head of Roscosmos, Dmitri Rogozin. The awarding of the medal to Hague who was joined by crewmate and Russian cosmonaut Alexey Ovchinin accompanied the unveiling of the Soyuz spacecraft in front of Roscosmos’ headquarters building in which Hague and Ovchinin launched on Oct. 11, 2018 on an aborted mission to the International Space Station. About two minutes after launch, a booster separation problem triggered a launch abort, resulting in Hague and Ovchinin flying free of their Soyuz booster and landing safely in their Soyuz capsule downrange on the steppe of Kazakhstan. Hague and Ovchinin were reassigned to fly again, launching on March 15, 2019 for a mission that spanned 203 days in space.

Only Nick Hague got the medal. It would have looked better Alexey Ovchinin also to award the Order of Courage.
