In 2025, Russia will begin the process of transferring launch Complex No. 1 at Baikonur to Kazakhstan. This is reported by RIA Novosti.
The Agency refers to the protocol of the Russian-Kazakh intergovernmental commission on the Baikonur cosmodrome.
"Roscosmos State Corporation, ICRIAP RK, the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the first half of 2025 will organize the reception and transfer of facilities of site 1 (Gagarin Launch)," it says.
The site was named "Gagarin's Start" in honor of Yuri Gagarin, who launched from it on the first flight into space in the history of mankind.
In 2023, the Roscosmos state Corporation offered the Kazakh government to withdraw the site from lease and make a museum with an exhibition of space technology on its basis.
Gagarin's Start is under Russian lease until 2050.
