Zitat On Aug. 22, 2018, Director General of Roskosmos State Corporation Dmitry Rogozin and the Minister of Defense and Aerospace Industry of Kazakhstan Beibut Atamkulov signed a protocol on the changes and amendments to the 2004 agreement on the Baiterek complex. The document officially confirmed that the Baiterek project would now rely on the future Soyuz-5 rocket based at the launch infrastructure of the Zenit-M complex in Baikonur. ... In mid-May 2022, less than three months after Russia escalated its war against Ukraine, resulting in a new wave of Western sanctions, TsENKI infrastructure division at Roskosmos hosted a meeting with Kazakh officials in Moscow on the Baiterek project. According to the official statement issued after the event, the two sides reconfirmed the feasibility of the project, but they also discussed "...additional measures for risk reduction stemming from the anti-Russian sanctions."
Earlier, specialists from the NII SK launch infrastructure development bureau in Moscow and KTs Yuzhny in Baikonur "amended the list and the amount of repair and reconstruction work required by the systems of the launch pad and the processing facilities employed in the Baiterek complex," the statement said, adding that the maintenance team had conducted hardware checks at the facility. However, there was no update at the time on any practical steps to refurbish the launch pad or the processing facility for the Soyuz-5 rocket.
Only in July 2022, Rogozin admitted that the first planned launch of Soyuz-5 from Baikonur would likely have to be postponed from 2023 to 2024 due to lack of progress with the construction of the launch pad. Around the same time, Kazakh officials said that the project would be pushed back from six months to a year. The delay was re-confirmed during the meeting in Baikonur on August 9 of the newly appointed head of Roskosmos Yuri Borisov with Kazakh Minister of Digital Development and Communications Bagdad Musin, who witnessed the launch of a Soyuz-2 rocket with the Khayam satellite for Iran.
In March 2023, unofficial reports said that Kazakh authorities had arrested all TsENKI assets in Baikonur and even ordered its local head in Kazakhstan not to leave the country. As long predicted, and if proved to be true, the move would essentially spell the end of the Baiterek project and would possibly derail the entire Soyuz-5 rocket development project leaving it without a launch site.
Zitat Thomas Burghardt@TGMetsFan98 "Some Roscosmos specialists" are now reported to suspect Soyuz MS-23 may have a similar manufacturing defect as Soyuz MS-22 and Progress MS-21. 2:59 PM · Mar 10, 2023
Zitat Katya Pavlushchenko @katlinegrey·8h 1/3. Referring to three anonymous sources in space industry, Izvestia reported that the launch of #SoyuzMS24 may happen earlier than planned: in June 2023 instead of September 2023. https://iz.ru/1480829/olga-kolentcova/or...ca-ranshe-plana
2/3. According to the sources of Izvestia, some Roscosmos specialists don’t exclude the possibility of a manufacturing defect in the cooling system of Soyuz-MS 22 and Progress MS-21. So they insist on the earlier return of Soyuz MS-23 in case if it has the same defect.
3/3. Roscosmos told to Izvestia that the launch date of Soyuz-MS 24 will be determined later by the State Commission. 6:56 AM · Mar 10, 2023
Zitat Космический корабль «Союз МС-24» может отправиться к МКС на три месяца раньше запланированного срока — 7 июня вместо 15 сентября, сообщили «Известиям» три источника в отрасли. Это может быть связано с желанием быстрее вернуть на Землю космонавтов Сергея Прокопьева, Дмитрия Петелина и Франциско Рубио. Они вынужденно задержались на орбите из-за разгерметизации корабля «Союз МС-22». Чуть позже подобное ЧП произошло и с грузовым кораблем «Прогресс МС-21». По словам источников «Известий», некоторые специалисты до сих пор не исключают, что причиной этих нештатных ситуаций был брак на производстве. В этих условиях они хотят вернуть на Землю и людей, и отправленный ранее за ними «Союз МС-23», который теоретически тоже может иметь подобные дефекты.
В Ракетно-космической корпорации «Энергия» обсуждают возможность переноса старта к МКС пилотируемого корабля «Союз МС-24» на 7 июня, рассказал «Известиям» источник, знакомый с ситуацией. Это позволит на три месяца раньше срока сменить трех членов экипажа станции. Сейчас информация на сайте «Роскосмоса» гласит, что дата запуска корабля — 15 сентября. Второй источник — из РКК «Энергия» — сообщил, что подобный вариант развития ситуации действительно обсуждается, однако во всех официальных документах пока сохраняется намеченная в плане сентябрьская дата.
Es wird also mit der Nöglichkeit geplnat, die Sojus MS-24 3 Monate vor dem bisland geplanten Starttermin am 15. September, also am 7. Juni zu starten, falls es sich erweist, daß die beiden Lecks auf einen Konsturktionsfehler zurückgehen und die MS-23 den auch eingebaut hat.

Zitat William Harwood @cbs_spacenews Soyuz MS-22/68S: We're standing by for undocking of the damaged Soyuz MS-22/68S crew ferry ship from the International Space Station's Rassvet module; the spacecraft lost its coolant 12/14 after what the Russian space agency Roscosmos said was a micrometeoroid impac 11:46 AM · Mar 28, 2023
Soyuz MS-22/68S: The damage forced Roscosmos to send up a replacement Soyuz - MS-23 - and to extend the MS-22 crew's stay aboard the ISS to a full year; Sergey Prokopyev, Dmitri Petelin and NASA's Frank Rubio now plan to return to Earth in September after 371 days in space
Soyuz MS-22/68S: The Soyuz MS-22 spacecraft is coming home with 481 lbs of cargo instead of a crew and is taking a fast-track trajectory back to Earth to minimize internal heat buildups; landing in Kazakhstan is expected at 7:45am EDT (1142 UTC)
Soyuz MS-22/68S: Undocking confirmed, at 5:57am EDT (0957 UTC) as the International Space Station passed 262 miles above northern China; the Soyuz is now backing away from the Russian Rassvet module 11:58 AM · Mar 28, 2023
Soyuz MS-22/68S: The Soyuz will execute a 4-minute 31-second deorbit burn at 6:51am, slowing the ship by 128 meters/second to drop the far side of the orbit into the atmosphere for landing near the town of Dzhezkazgan, Kazakhstan
Soyuz MS-22/68S: With the departure of the MS-22 vehicle, the ISS crew has transitioned from Expedition 68 to 69; NASA TV coverage of the Soyuz's departure has concluded; we'll provide updates on re-entry/landing as information comes in from Roscosmos

Zitat Katya Pavlushchenko @katlinegrey Temperature in #SoyuzMS22 which landed yesterday in Kazakhstan was more comfortable than in the worst scenario calculated by Roscosmos specialists, said Sergei Krikalev. How hot it was in the ship during the descent, will be known after analyzing different parts of the ship. 5:37 PM · Mar 29, 2023
Zitat Eric Berger @SciGuySpace I asked about the report of 50° C temperatures inside the Soyuz MS-22 spacecraft during its return to Earth Tuesday (no crew were inside). NASA's Joel Montalbano said they have a lot of questions, too, are are working with Roscosmos to obtain some insight. 8:25 PM · Mar 29, 2023
This temperature, over a period of hours, with high humidity and people in suits, very probably would have been fatal had three people returned to Earth inside the damaged Soyuz.
Montalbano says give NASA another two or three weeks and "we can report further" on the data obtained by Roscosmos during the return of Soyuz MS-22 from the space station.
Zitat Jeff Foust@jeff_foust NASA ISS program manager Joel Montalbano, asked about reports of temps of 50 deg C in the Soyuz MS-22 during its uncrewed return yesterday, says his team saw different numbers but won't release them now. Promises a briefing in 2-3 weeks to discuss it. 8:40 PM · Mar 29, 2023
Zitat In early March 2023, reports began to circulate that Kazakhstan had seized the property of Roscosmos at the Baikonur Cosmodrome. This has raised questions regarding launch operations from the spaceport, including important crew and cargo logistics flights for the International Space Station (ISS).
However, it is likely that the development of the Soyuz-5 rocket, as well as liquid oxygen and nitrogen production, are larger concerns as a result of the recent legal action.
Not all of the property of Roscosmos was seized. The lawsuit was filed by Kazakhstan against TsENKI (Centre for Operation of Space Ground-based Infrastructure), an organization that manages only the ground-based infrastructure of Roscosmos. This means that satellites, rocket stages, and other pieces of equipment were not seized. They can be launched into space as scheduled, since there are no restrictions on the use of ground-based equipment, except for its export outside Kazakhstan.
The lawsuit, due to which the trial began, was filed by “Joint Kazakh-Russian Enterprise Baiterek” to the “Center for the Operation of Ground-based Space Infrastructure Facilities” (TsENKI). The amount of the claim is 13.5 billion tenge, or 2 billion rubles, or 30.3 million US dollars.
The official reason for filing the claim is the non-fulfillment by the Russian side of its obligations under the contract for the construction of the Baiterek complex. According to the requirements of the Kazakh side, Russia had to conduct an environmental impact assessment of the planned Soyuz-5 rocket for this launch complex and did not. Importantly, neither TsENKI nor Roscosmos have sufficient funds to pay for the assessment. Their funding depends on the Russian government, and thus the assessment also requires permission from the Russian government.
Baiterek is a joint project of Russia and Kazakhstan to modernize Site 45, the launch complex of Zenit rockets produced by Russia and Ukraine, for the new Soyuz-5 rocket. It was assumed that this rocket could also be launched from Odyssey, the former Sea Launch platform purchased by the private Russian airline S7 that has been stored in the Far East for several years. S7 pays huge amounts of money annually to store the platform, but the rocket that Roscosmos has promised is still in the design stage.
