Russia is planning its next manned mission to the International Space Station (ISS) in early December after a launch failure earlier this month, according to Sergei Krikalyov, executive director of the Russian state space corporation Roscosmos.

"The next flight was originally planned in December, but we will now try to make it a little bit earlier ... in early December," Krikalyov said in a video interview with the RT TV channel.

During the launch of the Russian spacecraft Soyuz MS-10 on Oct. 11, the carrier rocket crashed and the crew consisting of Russian cosmonaut Alexei Ovchinin and U.S. astronaut Nick Hague made an emergency landing.

Russia then suspended manned space missions and is now investigating the cause of the incident.

Krikalyov said findings of the investigation are expected to be released by the end of next week.

According to Krikalyov, Ovchinin and Hague will repeat their attempts to fly to the ISS in spring 2019, and the specific date will be decided as soon as possible.

Russian cosmonaut Sergei Prokopyev, U.S. astronaut Serena Aunon-Chancellor and German astronaut Alexander Gerst, who were transported to the orbit by Russia's Soyuz MS-09 spacecraft that blasted off on June 6, are now working on the ISS and scheduled to stay on board for 187 days.

The return of the crew on the ISS will possibly be delayed, Krikalyov said.

Russia's Soyuz spacecraft is currently the only vehicle for spaceflights between the ISS and the Earth, and the ISS has enough supplies of food, water and life-supporting materials until the next summer, mission control head of the ISS Russian segment Vladimir Solovyov said on Sunday.
