CAS-500-1 will be launched aboard a Russian Soyuz-2 launch vehicle from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

In February and March 2020, Arianespace and its Starsem affiliate launched 68 OneWeb satellites from Baikonur Cosmodrome on two Soyuz flights.

Arianespace plans a Soyuz launch from Vostochny Cosmodrome on 2021-03-25 to deliver 36 satellites into orbit.

ELSA-d is scheduled to launch 2021-03-20 as part of a GK Launch Services Soyuz-2 rideshare mission from Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan.

ELSA-d will launch on a Soyuz rocket operated by GK Launch Services.

The Soyuz-2 launch on 2021-03-20 will deliver 38 spacecraft from 18 countries into three sun-synchronous orbits.

A Soyuz-2 launch vehicle with a Fregat upper stage operated by GK Launch Services is scheduled to launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome on 2021-03-20 at 9:07 a.m. Moscow Time.

Axiom Space will receive a seat on a NASA commercial crew mission to the International Space Station, likely in 2023, in exchange for the Soyuz MS-18 seat.

Mark Vande Hei will fly on Soyuz MS-18 to the International Space Station, launching 2021-04-09.

NASA acquired Mark Vande Hei’s Soyuz MS-18 seat through an exchange with commercial spaceflight company Axiom Space rather than by purchasing it directly from Roscosmos.

The Soviet Union developed the Kurs rendezvous technology in the 1980s to dock with the Mir space station and later upgraded it for Soyuz docking with the International Space Station.

Mark Vande Hei and Roscosmos cosmonauts Oleg Novitskiy and Pyotr Dubrov are scheduled to launch on Soyuz MS-18 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on Friday, 2021-04-09.

Mark Vande Hei will join the crew of Soyuz MS-18 and launch to the International Space Station on 2021-04-09.

NASA signed a contract with commercial spaceflight company Axiom Space under which Axiom will provide NASA with a seat on the upcoming Soyuz MS-18 flight.

NASA planned to obtain the Soyuz seat by providing similar in-kind services rather than by direct purchase from Roscosmos.

The Arktika-M satellite successfully reached its intended orbit after being launched from Kazakhstan’s Baikonur cosmodrome by a Soyuz rocket.
