Russia’s Soyuz 5 will soon be ready. But will anyone want to fly on it?
After Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the Western market for satellite launches dried up. And for anyone mostly concerned about price, Russia can’t beat the reusable Falcon 9 booster by SpaceX.

Ukraine is still holding on in Pokrovsk.
