The creation of ground infrastructure facilities for the Baiterek launch complex at the Baikonur Cosmodrome and the Soyuz-5 launch vehicle continues as planned. This was announced by the Prime Minister of Kazakhstan, Olzhas Bektenov.
The first launch of the Soyuz-5 launch vehicle from the Baiterek complex is scheduled for December 2025.
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.
