“We count on the fact that we will rhythmically create the Baiterek rocket and space complex using the Soyuz-5 rocket at the Nazarbayev launch site (site 45 of the Baikonur cosmodrome) ... and by the end of 2023 we will be ready for the start of flight tests of this complex "- quoted by RIA Novosti Rogozin.
On October 14, the Soyuz MS-17 spacecraft with three crew members: Ryzhikov, Kud-Sverchkov and NASA astronaut Kathleen Rubins flew to the ISS for the first time in a two-turn scheme, setting a record for the speed of flight to the station.
It took a little over three hours.
