In the new year, Russia plans to launch its first probe to the Moon since 1976, debut a new member of the Soyuz rocket family, and launch the new Soyuz GVK resupply spacecraft to the International Space Station (ISS).
2022 proved to be a slow year for the Russian launch cadence, with one Proton-M launch, two launches of the new Angara rocket, and 19 launches of the Soyuz rocket. Compared to 2021, when Soyuz launched 22 times, launching 11 commercial payloads, this marks a turn in the international launch market which Soyuz once held a grasp on.
