MOSCOW — A Soyuz spacecraft safely delivered a Russian, an American and a Dutchman to the international space station Friday, restoring the permanent crew to six members for the first time since September.
But just as concerns over the reliability of the Soyuz have eased, a different version of the Soyuz rocket failed Friday during an unmanned launch. It was the latest in a string of spectacular launch failures that have raised questions about the state of Russia’s space industry.
