Russia's ability to launch astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) remains in limbo after an incident at the Baikonur cosmodrome last week. The mishap has forced a halt to the Russian space program.
Baikonur is Russia's primary spaceport, located in Kazakhstan. The exact circumstances of the incident are still unclear, but experts say it could be a significant blow to Russia's space ambitions.
“This incident casts doubt on the stability of Russia's space program,” analysts say.
Roscosmos, the Russian space agency, is currently investigating the causes. Flights to the ISS have been temporarily suspended, which could affect crew rotations on the station.
