Russia restores ISS launch capability after Baikonur pad collapse

New Capabilities

Led pad repair effort

Russia has not been able to send a single spacecraft to the International Space Station (ISS) since November 27, when a 22-ton service cabin tore loose during a rocket launch and crashed into the flame trench at Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan — the only launch site on Earth configured for Russian crewed and cargo missions to the station. On March 22, a Soyuz-2.1a rocket carrying the Progress MS-33 cargo ship lifted off from that same repaired pad, restoring a logistics pathway that had been severed for 115 days.
