Kazakhstan Seizes Russia's Launch Facility at Baikonur Because Russia Can’t Pay Its Debts Baikonur has been a major part of Russia's contribution to the International Space Station (ISS), as it is the only spaceport from which Russian missions to the ISS are launched. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 82199237 [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] So how with this affect ISS supply and personnel transport missions? Can SpaceX pick up the slack if Baikanour is shut down? That’s what I was wondering. Baikonur Cismodrome is the only ISS shuttle launch facility that Russia has, isn’t it? No. There are 2 more spaceports. Specifically, which ones have launched ISS shuttle and resupply missions? And you don't have to know that. |

OK, found it. Baikanur is the only Russian cosmodrome that does this. [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] If they don’t pay their debts and get back to operating those at Baikanur, this might be a significant problem for the space station. But who knows. Russia said they were bailing on it, so maybe that’s the plan. Extortion maybe? |

Kazakhstan Seizes Russia's Launch Facility at Baikonur Because Russia Can’t Pay Its Debts On March 7th, 2023, Kazakhstan seized control of the Biaterek launch complex at the Baikonur Cosmodrome – Russia’s main launch site since 1955. According to statements by KZ24 News and The Moscow Times, the Kakazh government has impounded Russian assets at the Center for Utilization of Ground-based Space Infrastructure (TsENKI), a subsidiary of Roscosmos. It is also preventing Russian officials from leaving the country or liquidating Roscosmos assets. This incident is another example of how Russia’s space program is suffering collateral damage from the war in Ukraine. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 82199237 The decision was made because the Russian State company failed to pay its debts to the Kazakh government, which are now over 13.5 billion tenges (2.258 billion rubles; $29.7 million). This debt is part of the “Baiterek” program, a Kazakh-Russian joint venture related to the development of the Soyuz-5 booster. This program was created in 2005 to speed the transition from launch vehicles that rely on highly-toxic unsymmetric dimethylhydrazine (UDMH) – aka. “heptyl” fuel (C2H8N2) – and adopting ecologically safe propellants and launch practices.

Kazakhstan Seizes Russia's Launch Facility at Baikonur Because Russia Can’t Pay Its Debts Russia will continue to cooperate with Kazakhstan at Baikonur, but is also building its own modern cosmodrome in the Far East, as it is still a different country. This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin. “We have cooperated and will continue to cooperate with Kazakhstan. But it is still, with all our closeness to this country... a different state. And we are creating a modern Russian cosmodrome in the Far East,” the head of state said at a meeting with political parties that entered the State Duma. He stressed that the cosmodrome would be precisely modern, since what was created in the Soviet Union no longer meets the requirements that apply to today's cosmonautics. The second phase of the construction of the Vostochny cosmodrome in the Amur Region should be completed in December 2022. The first launch from the new launch complex for rockets of the Angara family is scheduled for the summer of 2023. Vostochny is the first civilian cosmodrome in Russia, its total area is about 700 square kilometers. |

Let’s hope that Elon Musk and SoaceX can pick up the slack. Wrong. There were launches on the ISS not only from Baikonur. This is the first. The new Vostochny cosmodrome was tried for such launches. Elon Musk knows that he is balancing on the edge and does not want to lose everything. Therefore, he constantly finds compromise solutions. Have you heard anything about Nudol? And he knows. About ruin - it's ridiculous to even comment. |
