MOSCOW. Jan 30 (Interfax-AVN) - The Main Medical Commission has found Alexei Ovchinin fit for a new space flight, the press service for the Cosmonaut Training Center said.
"The meeting of the Main Medical Commission, which analyzed the data of the medical evaluations of Alexei Ovchinin, the captain of the main crew of the Soyuz MS-12, ended at the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center today," the Cosmonaut Training Center said.
The commission was composed of officials from the Cosmonaut Training Center, Roscosmos, the Federal Medical-Biological Agency, the Institute of Biomedical Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Health Ministry, and the Defense Ministry.
"The commission found Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexei Ovchinin fit for a space flight," the center said.
Alexander Skvortsov, captain of the backup crew, was found fit to fly on October 26, 2018.
The Soyuz MS-10 carrying Ovchinin and NASA's Nick Hague was aborted two minutes after lifting off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome on October 11.
The Soyuz capsule landed near Zhezkazgan in Kazakhstan. Further Soyuz rocket launches were put on hold.
On December 3, a similar Soyuz-FG took the current crew to the ISS following the completion of the work of the accident commission and four successful unmanned launches.
