Russia’s space agency Roscosmos said Tuesday that it completed repairs to its launchpad at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, three months after the site was damaged during a rocket launch. The launchpad’s service cabin, a movable structure that provides engineers access to a rocket’s lower sections, was damaged on Nov. 27 during a crewed Soyuz launch to the International Space Station. At the time, experts expressed concern about potential disruptions to Russia’s crewed spaceflight schedule as Roscosmos said repairs could last several months.
