Baikonur Launch Pad Accident Severs Russia’s Manned Space Access AviationNews – A critical infrastructure failure at the Baikonur Cosmodrome has effectively grounded Russia's human spaceflight program, marking the first time in six decades that Moscow lacks independent access to the International Space Station (ISS). Following the launch of Soyuz MS-28, severe damage to the primary service tower at Site 31 has rendered the facility unusable, with repairs potentially taking up to two years.
