Abstract

The article focuses on Russia's completion of repairs to a damaged launch pad at the Baikonur Cosmodrome, its sole facility for crewed space missions. The refurbishment included installing new equipment at the service cabin complex, enabling preparations for a March 22 launch of a Progress cargo spacecraft to the International Space Station (ISS). The Baikonur Cosmodrome, located in Kazakhstan and leased by Russia, is a key site for Moscow's space program. The launch pad had been damaged in November during a rocket launch, temporarily halting crewed missions from the site. Roscosmos, Russia’s state space corporation, confirmed the restoration was completed on schedule. [Extracted from the article]
