The "package" for a manned launch consists of the first and second stages of the rocket. This is five blocks: the central one and four lateral ones.

Later, the "Soyuz MS-26" will undergo pneumatic tests, autonomous and integrated tests, and then the overall assembly of the launch vehicle will be carried out. A few days before the launch,the rollout and final pre-launch preparation of the "Soyuz" are carried out at the cosmodrome. After all the checks, the rocket is fueled - this is the very last stage of preparation for launch.
