Cross-post re: confirmation of new launch date:
https://www.interfax.ru/russia/657926
QuoteThe launch of the Soyuz-FG rocket with the Soyuz MS-13 spacecraft with the next crew of the International Space Station was postponed from 6 to 20 July, and an interdepartmental state commission made the decision.
According to the decision of the commission, a copy of which is available to Interfax, the launch will take place on July 20. Russian Alexander Skvortsov, Italian Luca Parmitano and NASA astronaut Andrew Morgan will go to the station from Baikonur.
In February, the State Commission approved the program of flights to the International Space Station (ISS) for the current year. The launch of the Soyuz-FG launch scheduled earlier on July 6 will be the second expedition with the participation of Roskosmos.
Cross-post re: launch time:https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/next-space-station-crew-available-for-media-interviews
QuoteThe crew is scheduled to launch to the space station aboard the Soyuz MS-13 spacecraft from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 12:25 pm EDT (9:25 pm Baikonur time) July 20, the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing.
Noting: 12:25 EDT (UTC - 4 hours) equals neither 21:25 Moscow Standard Time (UTC + 3 hours) nor Kazakh Standard Time (UTC + 6 hours).
If the EDT time is correct, then the UTC time is 1625. -

I have asked NASA, and they replied that Baikonur timezone was changed from UTC+6 to UTC+5 in December 2018. -

Cross-post re: Soyuz-FG launch vehicle status. The LV for this mission was shipped earlier than the shipment referred to in the article.
2 rockets Soyuz-FG left for Soyuz MS-13 (schedule launch on July 20) and for Soyuz MS-15 (September 25).

In addition, another Soyuz-FG is now stored at the cosmodrome. He will have to launch the Soyuz MS-13 transport ship into orbit, the launch is scheduled for July 20.

RSC Energia: Tests of CTS Soyuz MS-13 in vacuum chamber started
May 14, 2019
Today on May 14 specialists from RSC Energia and SC Yuzhnyi transported Crew Transportation Spacecraft Soyuz МS-13 to the vacuum chamber at Baikonur cosmodrome for further leak tests.
As of today the vacuum chamber test cycle for space vehicles using helium-air medium in tested volumes remains the most objective leak check method used under ground conditions, ensuring verification of the specified strict pressurization integrity requirements.
The launch of Soyuz MS-13 to the International Space Station is scheduled for July 20, 2019 from the Baikonur cosmodrome. The spacecraft shall deliver a crew consisting of commander Alexander Skvortsov (Roscosmos), Luca Parmitano (flight engineer, ESA) and Andrew Morgan (flight engineer, NASA) to the ISS.

Here's the video on Youtube.
"The initial stage of preparation for the launch of the Soyuz MS-13 transport manned spacecraft was completed at the Baikonur Cosmodrome.
After the inspection of systems and compartments of the ship for tightness in the modernised vacuum chamber Soyuz MS-13 was transported and installed in the test bench, where the final checks of the ship's systems were carried out. After that, the ship was put into storage mode before the final stage of preparation for launch.
The launch of the Soyuz MS-13 transport manned spacecraft to the International Space Station is scheduled for July 20, 2019 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome. The ship must deliver to the ISS a crew consisting of Alexander Skvortsov (commander, Roscosmos), Luke Parmitano (flight engineer, ESA) and Andrew Morgan (flight engineer, NASA)."

MEDIA ADVISORY M19-055
NASA Astronaut Available for Interviews Before First Space Mission
NASA astronaut Drew Morgan prepares for spacewalk training Jan. 24, 2018, in the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory.
https://www.flickr.com/photos/nasa2explore/27783264737/in/album-72157664355011920/
NASA astronaut Andrew Morgan will be available from 7 to 8:15 a.m. EDT Monday, July 1, for live satellite interviews from Star City, Russia, before launching on his first space mission, a nine-month expedition aboard the International Space Station.
The interviews will air live on NASA Television and the agency’s website, preceded at 6:30 a.m. by video of Morgan’s training.
Morgan and his crewmates, Alexander Skvortsov of the Russian space agency Roscosmos and Luca Parmitano of ESA (European Space Agency), are scheduled to launch aboard the Russian Soyuz MS-13 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 12:28 p.m. July 20 – the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing.
They will arrive at the station about six hours after launch, joining Expedition 60 Commander Alexey Ovchinin of Roscosmos and Flight Engineers Nick Hague and Christina Koch of NASA. Morgan is scheduled to remain aboard the station until April 2020.
To interview Morgan, media must contact Sarah Volkman no later than 5 p.m. Wednesday, June 26, at 281-483-9071 or [email protected]. Media participating in the interviews must tune to the NASA TV Public Channel (NTV-1) or Media Channel (NTV-3). Satellite tuning information is available at:
http://go.nasa.gov/1pOWUhR
There are roughly 250 ongoing research experiments at NASA at any given time, many of which require astronauts’ hands. On Morgan’s mission, he and his crewmates, will facilitate research on various projects, including tests for the BioFabrication Facility on 3D-printing organs to see if microgravity affects the ability to build complex tissue shapes. Other experiments include the Biorock project, which focuses on mining materials in the solar system; the Space Moss study, a look into methods for engineering plants to grow better on Earth; and the Space Tango-Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells experiment, which will be the first examination in space of cells from patients with Parkinson’s to better understand neurodegenerative diseases.
These are only a snapshot of the research Morgan and his crewmates will support during their expedition, and each experiment they conduct in space has practical application back on Earth.
Morgan joined NASA as a member of the 2013 astronaut class. He was born into a military family, but considers New Castle, PA to be his hometown. Morgan is a Colonel in the U.S. Army, and prior to his selection served as an emergency physician in special forces. He is the first Army Medical Corps officer to be selected as an astronaut.
In addition to Morgan’s board certification in emergency medicine, he also is certified in primary care sports medicine (CAQSM) and has national registry in musculoskeletal ultrasound (RMSK). He is a qualified military freefall parachutist, combat diver and flight surgeon. Over the course of his career Morgan has deployed to combat zones in Iraq and Afghanistan.
