The launch pad's 174-foot-tall mobile service gantry has been retracted to reveal the Soyuz booster. The mobile structure is secured in launch position about 260 feet from the rocket.

The tower's retraction to launch position allows ground teams to complete radio checks with the rocket's tracking beacon and destruct system.

Fairing jettison and staging. Hot staging too. Notice how you see that latticework on Soyuz (and Proton-M)? That's because the stage fires up *before* separation.

First burn of the Fregat. If this was a Katy Haswell hosted stream, she'd have said "There's the spacecraft taxi driver delivering another space baby into orbit".
