The project to create the Baiterek space rocket complex at the Baikonur Cosmodrome for launching Soyuz-5 launch vehicles is the largest within the framework of Russian-Kazakh cooperation in the space industry. The Russian side is creating the latest Soyuz-5 launch vehicle, and the Kazakh side is responsible for creating the ground infrastructure and modernizing the Baiterek complex.

The start dates for the construction of the Baiterek complex have been repeatedly postponed due to the preparation of technical documentation for the project. The Soyuz-5 rocket was originally scheduled to launch before the end of 2023. However, the parties later agreed to postpone the start of flight tests to 2025.

Earlier, www1.ru reported that Soyuz-5 is still inferior to the American Falcon 9.
