Russia Pushes Back Soyuz-5 Rocket Launch Amid System Checks

(MENAFN) Roscosmos has pushed back the inaugural launch of its Soyuz-5 rocket, originally slated for late 2025, the Russian state space corporation confirmed Friday.

The delay stems from ongoing verification procedures targeting both spacecraft systems and ground infrastructure, a joint effort between Russia and Kazakhstan. A new launch window will be determined once these supplementary inspections conclude, Roscosmos stated.

The space agency described progress on the collaborative Baiterek initiative, noting that operations have reached advanced phases. "The joint Russian-Kazakh Baiterek project is in its final stages: tests are continuing at the launchpad to confirm the reliability of the rocket's systems and components," the statement said.

After completing standalone evaluations within the assembly and test facility, technicians will transport the vehicle to its launch site for concluding assessments, the corporation explained.

Roscosmos emphasized that development remains on track despite the timeline adjustment. "Work is currently proceeding as planned, in full compliance with all regulations and standards," Roscosmos underlined.

The Soyuz-5 represents a critical component of Russia's modernized space launch capabilities, designed to enhance the nation's orbital access amid evolving geopolitical dynamics.
