Concentration of poisonous substances in the soil, air and water in the area of the crash of Russian rocket Proton-M does not exceed the permissible levels.
Corresponding member and analyst of Tsiolkovskiy Russian Cosmonautics Academy Yuriy Karash commented the possible consequences of the crash of Proton-M at Baikonur in Kazakhstan.
An unmanned Russian carrier rocket exploded on takeoff at the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, releasing tonnes of highly toxic fuel into the air in the space programme's latest disaster caught on live television.
An international trio flying in a Russian capsule docked the International Space Station on Wednesday with a busy schedule full of space walks and an encounter with a pioneering US cargo craft.
Tengrinews.kz reported earlier, citing Russia’s Izvestia, that Russia may bring its operations at the Baikonur cosmodrome close to zero as early as by 2020.
We are aligning projects so that Baikonur could be also used. Surely, we will be exploiting it in partnership with space experts and agencies of Kazakhstan: Vladimir Putin.
A crew of two Russians and an American blasted off Friday on a Russian rocket for the International Space Station, in a trip scheduled to be the fastest ever manned journey to the facility.
Outgoing Sabit Kozhakhmetov has been relieved of his duties of President’s special representative at Baikonur as he is being transferred to another position.
