MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 21st April, 2019) The first liftoff of Russia's new Soyuz-5 medium-lift launch vehicle, set to replace Ukrainian-made Zenit launcher, from the Baikonur space center is scheduled for the second half of 2022, the press service of the Russian State Space Corporation Roscosmos told Sputnik on Sunday.
"The second half of 2022," a representative of the press service told Sputnik, when asked about the date of the launch.
Meanwhile, a source in the rocket and space sphere has told Sputnik that Soyuz-5's launch will take place in November 2022.
