60 years ago, on May 15, 1960, a three-stage "Vostok" launch vehicle with an experimental prototype of the "Vostok" spacecraft was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome for flight tests under the program of the first human space flight.

Based on the analysis of the measurement information of the automated system for warning of dangerous situations in near-Earth space, the destruction of the dumped block of tanks of the "Fregat-SB" upper stage, which was used on July 18, 2011 when the Russian astrophysical observatory "Spektr-R" was launched, was confirmed.

The Baikonur Cosmodrome is undergoing final operations to prepare for the launch of the "Soyuz-2.1a" launch vehicle with the "Progress MS-14" cargo spaceship.

At the Baikonur cosmodrome the preparation of the "Progress MS-14" cargo spaceship is nearing completion for launch to the International Space Station.

The "Soyuz MS-15" spacecraft crew, that undocked from Zvezda module on April 17, 2020 at 01:53 UTC, landed safely.

According to TsNIIMash Mission Control Center (part of Roscosmos) preliminary calculations, the Soyuz MS-15 spacecraft descent module is scheduled to land at 05:16 UTC 147 kilometers eastwards from the city of Zhezkazgan (Kazakhstan). Live broadcast will be available at Roscosmos website starting from 04:50 UTC.

Onboard the International Space Station, the 62nd long expedition is completing.

At Baikonur Cosmodrome, the planned preparation of the "Progress MS-14" cargo ship for launching under the program of the 75th supply mission of the International Space Station continues.

On the 12th of April 1961 an extraordinary event occurred that has changed the world – the first ever human spaceflight of Yuri Gagarin laid a foundation for the age of space exploration.
