At the Baikonur Cosmodrome, preparations are actively underway for the launch of the manned spacecraft "Soyuz MS-27". As part of an important stage of testing, Roscosmos specialists deployed the spacecraft's solar panels and exposed them to powerful lamps.
This is done to simulate intense solar radiation in space, in order to check how effectively the panels convert light energy into electricity and withstand extreme conditions.
At the same time, the installation of the necessary equipment and gear is being completed in the compartments of "Soyuz MS-27", and technicians are carefully checking each element to ensure the safety of the crew during the mission. This comprehensive check ensures that all systems are working stably and reliably before launch.
The launch of the manned spacecraft is scheduled for April 8, 2025.
